If there's a bustle in your hedgerow don't be alarmed, now.

After getting home at 3am this morning I was shattered when I awoke at the 9am that seems to be hardwired into my brain. Due to this I was incapable of doing anything requiring thought such as moving my hands to play the piano, so I sat watching youtube videos all morning. Luckily I did eventually wake up as I had my second driving lesson this afternoon. It went pretty well again, driving around Inverness doing junctions and roundabouts. The most worrying moment was not my fault; we were driving along a suburban dual carriageway type of road on the right hand lane as the left was mostly taken up with parked cars. Suddenly this woman started driving headlong towards me. I immediately assumed I had made a terrible mistake even though it was about the fifth circuit I had done on this stretch of road, each time taking the same route. She calmly stopped her car in my path and started rearranging her handbag or something before visibly noticing her idiocy. This isn't a woman-driver rant, just a stupid-driver-who-happened-to-be-female rant. After an otherwise largely smooth lesson I had the opportunity to finish the lesson by driving home. It was great getting a taster of driving home and as I currently have very basic control of the car I set myself a target to drive less erratically than 90% of the tourists you encounter this time of year. I believe I achieved this goal, maintaining a realistic speed all the way, keeping on my bit of the road and only screwing up on the terrifying bend just before the castle. Not bad for a second lesson I feel. Just need to keep practising.

This evening I learnt Stairway to Heaven on the Ukulele and watched the France Mexico game. I had no preference as to who would win but I would have predicted France. Goodness me was I wrong. They were atrocious. There is no more to say on the subject.

Song of the day is from a band I discovered over the last few days. I say "over the last few days": I heard them on Kawaii Radio two days ago, and found a download for all of their albums. This took until this evening to complete. Of what I've heard so far, I really like this song.
