250wds 150x

I’ve changed my driving instructor. Or, to be more accurate, she’s given up on me to the extent of suggesting someone else who could take over my lessons. It all happened on Wednesday. I was tired, I forgot to check the mirrors properly, and I knocked over someone’s mountain bike. I thought the fact that it wasn’t being ridden at the time might be in my favour, and I tried to hide the embarrassment by saying “Well that was a stupid ****ing place to leave a bike. What kind of ****wit would leave their bike there?” To which she replied, “My brother. It’s his bike.”
Oops.
The bike needs a bit of TLC, and there’s minimal damage to the back of the car. Our working relationship, however, is wrecked beyond repair. So Kathryn suggested I might like to try another instructor.
Bitch.

Another milestone passed, then. 150 postings on a blog I’d expected to die by the end of March last year. A lot of people tell me it’s outdated now. They turn their back on the beauty of blogs in favour of turgid Twittering, or whatever the new fad may be by the time you get to read this. ‘The latest thing’ only seems to last about 6 hours now before being superseded so who knows what you pesky kids are using to contact each other nowadays.
Me – I shall remain loyal and true. I blog, and so it shall stay. I’m going nowhere.
Here’s to the next 150..
