Mar 31st (Monday)

The day dawns early, too early, though it's amazing how quickly we all become accustomed to the change of hour. Kids to school, home for some intertitillation, then out to get the car all sparkly for T's test, which is in Aylesbury.

New born lambs are in the field, the first I have seen of them this year. Their carefree gambolling reflects the mood of the weather, which has a touch of spring freshness to go with the sunshine.

He is in good form, confident and reasonably calm. He nearly writes the car off twice. Apart from that fine! I have confidence in him though.

3 other instructors in the little hut that passes for the Aylesbury TC. One is told that hs test is cancelled. What a pisser that must be for the pupil. The other two are very friendly and we walk up to the garage together where one of them, Paul, treats us to teas and coffees.

The time passes quickly and soon all three cars re back. T has done well, passing with just 5 minors. I am pleased for him, as I suspect his family are not in the best of financial circumstances and it has been costing him a fortune catching the train to Chalfont each day.

The election is over in Zimbabwe. Everyone agrees the tyrant king ha been walloped,but strangely the results are not announced. Heathrow's new terminal 5 continues to grind to a halt, having accumulated 28,000 misplaced bags, and almost as many cancelled flights in it's first 5 days of operation. A national triumph for sure. Oh and the ex chief exec of Northern Rock, cruelly sacked after he managed to turn a fucking bank into a basket case, is let go with a paltry £700 grand for his troubles.

Pick p J from her home. She is bright and cheerful as ever, and does well. On the way around I see H's car by the park. After the lesson I stop by and find H, Emsy & her friends K and O out walking K's rabbit. It's nice to walk on a spring evening, and again I wonder is this the last time Emsy & I will go to the park together. The light still good at 7:30.
Yeah it's Monday, so TV, Beer Curry Bed. Night night!
