Well its August.

The big news is i have my license to drive,  woohoo!!!.  So I can cross that off my list of things to do by August 8.  I still don't know how I got it.  I was learning in a manual 6 onths ago then stopped and just 3 weeks ago i got my first car an auto.  I was only learning in it for 2 weeks and somehow i pulled it off.  I love my car.  He needs a name.  He's a black onyx Peugeot 307.   Any name suggestions appreciated.

Learnt my first lesson today.  It was my first trip out without another adult in the car.  Went down to Kindy to learn the routine down there.  All fine so i go to leave.  Release the handbrake.  reverse.  but it didn't reverse.  so i look at the handbrake.  it was down (should have bloody checked it with my hand now shouldn't I).  So i give a little accelerator and it reverses.  No worries i think.  10m down the road and it beeps at me.  at the round about it beeps at me.  Then I continue up a very steep hill.  now I'm really getting beeped at and i notice a red warning light.  cant pull over anywhere.  then the car goes down a gear, starts to struggle a little.  I'm close to where i needs to go, so i park and the bonnet pops automatically, well that freaked me out.  So i get out and i smell smoke, so I freak some more, then i see a little smoke as well.  I thought i'd totally screwed the car.  All because i'd left the handbrake on just a little.  

Well I'm home now and the car seems ok, so i'll venture out again this afternoon.
