On My Own

So Sunday i got up a little early before church to take the ol' coche for a spin around the neighborhood before too many people got out and about. This was my first solo trip and wasn't too bad. Number of stalls- i forgot to count or lost count. Sunday evening i made a trip to another youth worship event and this was on my own and out of town! i did great until i pulled into the church driveway and stalled! Just as an old man walks out, go figure. But on the trip home, I even managed to turn on the radio, that's how calm i was... although i have to say my prayer life has been greatly improved by taking on this challenge. This morning i decided i would sleep in a bit so that i would miss the morning traffic out of town (this is how i manage to do so well with my lack of stalling, i wait till there's no one on the road so i don't have to ever stop!) and i did. Made it to work uneventfully. And i almost made it home the same way, but i left early so as to miss trafic again, but this time my plan didn't work out so well...let's just say i got to practice my clutch control, a lot! But i did really well, no stalling on the A66. In fact, i got all the way to the mini round-about at the corner of my street without stalling and then stalled... several times. The lady behind me was looking quite annoyed, so i waved her around and then finally got home with a bit of a red face! But i figure that if stalling is the worst thing that happens, then that's pretty good! So off i'll be tomorrow again to work. Untill the next great adventure here's a few pics. The wee bonnie blue car is mine! He's a little guy, but a great car. And the wee bonnie dog is Maizie. She lives with me and is absolutely adorable, despite the fact that she likes to chew on your hands more than her chew toys. But she doesn't drool or chew hard so it's not bad... kinda funny really. And the great head shot pic is of me and Jenny, she's one of the girls in a discipleship group that i do! Laters!
