Sad news

My Grandad died on Wednesday. Although he had been ill for a long time, his death came as a shock to us all. I'm in the process of finding some photos to post here of him.
Still seems a little unreal right now.

Update!

After a few weeks of being incredibly preoccupied, I've finally got around to updating my blog!

I passed my driving test this week with 3 minors. I was surprised I passed as I had ballsed up one of my manouvers (ironically the one I was most confident about). I had slipped out of gear and hadn't realised so the car wasn't reversing when I needed it to etc., so, thinking I had already failed, I stopped being nervous and just drove. Needless to say I thought I misheard when my examiner said I had passed! I was incredibly relieved as the cost of learning to drive is ridiculous, and you do get a little fed up of relying on everyone for lifts - as I am sure they got fed up with my reliance on lifts!

Aside from that, I have taken some off from the job hunt as it's getting really soul-destroying with constant rejections. I didn't get the ATO job I had an interview for either, as, despite asking for A'Level standards, I didn't have enough experience with my degree. Humph. You just can't win anymore! All having a degree has done has got me a rather large student loan to pay back and but no better prospects with work. Grrr!

We have been taking the dogs out to loads of places, so they have been having a great time of it - I think it is preferrably to be a dog in the recession!
