July 1st (Tues)

And so to July. The last couple of days have been more than pleasant, but today the sun beats down in a true impression of summer. It is glorious, and again nothing to do until A's test at 1ish. I pick him up . He's not nervous, and drives perfectly well to the centre. there should be no problem at all.
Having had F for so many tests recently , it comes as a shock when B calls out A's name. But no matter whom, he should prove well capable of passing.
When they return a little while later, I look for signs. It's taking too long. He's not reaching for his documents. And then B is motioning to me. 1 major. Silly sod cut someone up at a roundabout, but 8 minors. A should not have committed that many. Ho hum,the best laid plans.
Bit more perving then off to Heathrow. The mighty J to contend with. She knows so much more than me about how to drive a car. We do the left reverse.She drives backwards at about 30 miles an hour. How many bloody times do I have to tell her to slow done?
She shows zero road sense. In fact she demonstrates no sense at all. She has already been nearly killed in a car accident, and she'll be in another one very soon I suspect. On the way home I discover a former boyfriend ran over her legs after a row and went to nick for six months or two years, I can't remember which.
I am wondering whether I will have the mettle to tell her she cannot take her test in my car if she carries on like this.
Fight club in the evening. Really interesting presentation from KF of Drivetech on speed awareness. All the more galling when a aneighbour's VW overtakes me doing about 40mph on Rutland Ave.
Bonus when I get home. I will finally get to see Capriicorn One from start to finish! Have tried to watch this film a thousand times but for various reasons never made it to the end
I see all the bits I have missed in the past, but then! I am staring at 4am telly and wondering where I am and what I am doing here. Maybe next time.
