The gloomy weather seemed to be lifting. It was a dry start to the day, and as I had a test at 12:30 I took advantage to go strolling. Took a shortcut as didn't want to get back late. By the time I turned the final corner, the sun was warm on my forehead, and from a weather point of view things got better as the day went by.
Sat in the back on L's test. She made a couple of mistakes early on and had blown it in the first five minutes. A pity as after that she drove really well. "A smashin' drive" said R, the examiner in his broad Welsh brogue. She took it really well and had another test booked within an hour. She's a very good driver imho and deserves to pass. Well, that's my run of success at an end. Hopefully it's temporary, though next up is M, an excellent driver, but I just worry how he'll react to the pressure.
After the test was over I was a bit surprised. An AA car had gone out on test at the same time as us, with N the examiner. As I was getting back into my car, the I car pulled up outside the test centre and to my surprise I saw N get out. That must mean the car had had a breakdown, an accident, or she had cancelled the test for dangerous driving.
A new girl in the afternoon, pleasant if a little quiet. She got off to a good start.
While stocks and shares continued up and down like a whore's drawers, it transpired that at Societe Generale, la Belle France had once more sent les rosbifs away with their tails between their legs as the gallic version of Nick Leeson was revealed to have gambled away the small matter of €5,000 000,000, leaving le pauvre Leeson open mouthed in admiration.
