Scott’s New Toy.

We got a brand spanking new computer today!  Scott spilled coffee on his old one in one of his more brilliant moments, so we claimed on our insurance.  The old one was taken away to see if it could be repaired, but it was buggered (to put it politely), so for £60 excess we were given a brand spanking new one.  Its slightly better than the old one, and has Vista installed on it, so Scott is currently playing around with it and raving about how great his new toy is.  Why does HE always get the cool new stuff…

Can’t complain though,  it keeps him quiet and happy, and that makes my life easier.  I got a book on Anatomy for artists and some new trousers and two new tops from Hitchens.  I have bloody awful PMT and stomach cramps right now though, so I am a little grumpy. Or grumpier.

Not taking my CBT tomorrow after all, am going to wait a few weeks and go out and practice in a field somewhere.  My leg was hurting so much I figured giving it a little longer to heal was a good thing too.  The bruises are a nice shade of green and yellow right now, but it changes daily so cant help but wonder what color they will be next!

I introduced Scott to the joys of Tom Baker as Dr Who last night,  and he loves it.  We watched The Nightmare of Eden.

Who needs pants anyway!

Today my right leg is a multitude of different colors, which I probably would find quite pretty if it wasn’t so sore.  Oddly enough, the lower part of my right leg which I thought was the worst area has paled in significance compared to a massively bruised and swollen area just above and behind me knee.  So here I sit, doped up on painkillers, unable to wear my jeans.  Its a pantless day today!  There is always a skirt though

Never one to sit back and give up, I am redoing my CBT on saturday.  Hopefully my leg will have gotten a bit better before then,  and even more hopefully I won’t add any more bruises or scrapes to it!

The worst part about today is all the well meaning cats who come to see if I am ok keep walking across the sore spots.  I don’t think mum was amused when I was talking to her on the phone and Taru walked up my leg where I had it propped up,  it was a very loud yell!

Better luck next time.

Well, I didn’t manage my CBT today. Seems I need more practice with gears and using the clutch so will be going back another day, probably going to learn on an automatic, which is ok as my scooter is, and then I can upgrade my test to include geared bikes later when I have confidence. No problems, its just a minor setback, and I got to spend the afternoon on the back on the instructors big bike so I could listen in to what he told the other guy who passed.

I didn’t fall off! I nearly did a few times, and at one point dropped the bike on my leg, but thats all. Saying that my right leg below the knee is bruised, swollen and VERY sore right now. I am gonna be such a pretty color soon, its already turning greeny purple. Not much blood tho, and my jeans are intact.
