July 10th (Thurs)

Back to the more mundane biz of teaching people to drive! It's all pretty humdrum stuff. A second lesson with H,who is doing fine, and is bright and pretty as a happy bonus. The two hours with T, which he can't pay for (hmm...next week!) I pop home before the next one to find a letter on the mat. Fuck, it's a speeding fine!!! I scour it quickly. Ampthill,, near Bedford. Shit.. I was there, but a couple of weeks back on the way home from Mum's. More scouring BK51RYP. The Berlingo! Phew! But bugger I haven't yet sent of the registration for change of ownership. Stupid. I plough through piles of paper and fortunately unearth it. Hopefully now I can fill in pikey's details and that'll be the end of the matter. I knew this would happen the minute I clapped eyes on him!
G is the day's newcomer,, and she is a delight! 25, gorgeous, and bubbly as a bottle of Bolly. She's driven a bit,but only round a sheep ranch in Oz. I have a feeling there are many interesting tales to hear from her in the weeks to come. she tells me she has a new bloke. Lucky sod!
Last (hopefully) lesson with S to finish. Considering how bad she was at first she has done fantastically well, and is now really competent. She's likeable too, though she rarely says much. I hope she passes, she really ought to, and I need a few passes after recent results.
The place is becoming more and more of a dump. There is not a single tidy room left. H paws over plans of kitchens and cupboard layouts, but who the hell is she kidding. Unless she throws away 80% of the crap that festoons the place we are condemned to live in this squalor forever. A depressing thought.
The second part of the cricketing summer swings into action, with the South Africans the visitors. They should prove more robust opposition in the five day game, though today Pietersen cracks a ton to put England well in command. The rian relents for most of the day, but is promised again tomorrow.
