life update

I've been having driving lessons for the last few weeks and I had my third one this evening. I had about twenty-five or so lessons five years ago and so I'm slowly remembering what I should be doing now! Of course, when I had my lessons before, it was when I was living in the middle of nowhere near Aberdeen (north-east Scotland) where there was only one set of traffic lights, no roundabouts, no traffic and many one track roads. It's a bit of a shock to the system now to have to dodge parked cars and try and avoid running over idiotic children on bikes. I did my first ever roundabouts today and it wasn't too bad actually (probably because the roads were deserted because everyone bar me was watching the football - the lack of cars on the road was bizarre). I had a moment when I went into fourth instead of second when I was on the roundabout but apart from that it was great.

Wednesday and Thursday next week I'm going on a project management training course with work. I'm very frightened because it's being run by the really scary lady that's made quite a few people resign. I'm just going to try and appear invisible so she doesn't single me out for anything. Then again, she'll probably single me out because I'm trying to appear invisible. Do you think anyone will mind if I take my duvet to hide under?

I bit the bullet and went on ebay the other night to get an electric fence energiser to replace the one that was nicked last weekend. I'm still very pissed off about that. They made up with about £400 worth of stuff. Why are people such shits? People keep asking me if we've got insurance or we're going to get it. I keep explaining that it's very hard to get contents insurance for unoccupied outbuildings (especially when it's an old lorry back and not even made from brick) on land you don't own but no one seems to believe me. If anyone has any suggestions - speak up!

I've only got two episodes left to go of Supernatural season 1 now. I think I may need some icons. But not icons of the episode with the murderous painting because it really freaked me out! I really should stop watching it just as I'm about to go to bed!

Apart from watching Supernatural I've been feeling very disconnected from fandom recently. I've not got much time in the evenings at the moment and there's no new shows on. Are there any fabulous fics that I should have read recently? McKay/Sheppard, Sirius/Remus (I was listening to VAST's 'I Don't Have Anything' song on the way home today and felt all nostalgic for some good old S/R angst fic) or maybe Jared/Jenson?

Why does my internet always die just as I'm about to post?
