Now We're Getting Somewhere...

I have achieved something great.

I have passed my driving theory test.

=]

Ok, maybe it's not great - it's uber good, but not great. Passing the minor detail of driving a car would be great. But that will come in time; not too long now I don't think. A couple of weeks maybe?
But hey, at least I've passed step one of this whole driving malarky. And after a good-ish mock test last night (just a few small glitches which need polishing up - it was dark, may I add) during which I didn't feel too nervous, I think it should be alright when it comes down to doing the real deal.

Aside to this success, I'm also really excited. Tomorrow the RC gang is off to Carbisdale Castle for some Emergency Response training magic ^^
I am determined that this year's weekend away will kick the ass of last year's - on reflection I didn't post a blog about it despite me saying I would at a later date. Maybe because it ended up being so spectacularly crap that I just didn't want to reminisce. I wasn't very well after a rather long-winded, highly emotional week, and I wasn't strong enough to tackle the demands of trudging across snow-covered hillsides and playing with bandages on river banks. Therefore I felt pretty miserable that weekend, which doesn't mix with late nights and boozey banter.
This year, however, should be - and will be - a lot better.
No doubt I'll end up writing about it when I come back, so watch this space......
