Evening folks! Well today was the day of the CBT. I haven't finished it yet. To be honest, I'm quite shocked that anyone would be able to fit it all into one day, but it turns out that perhaps I'm not a natural rider.
Having said that, I didn't give up and knuckled back down after lunch and it clicked a lot more so I got through all the training part. I now need to come back in a couple of weeks so that I can do the on-road riding. So yeh - I learnt to ride a motorbike today!! And I didn't panic or fall off
Now I'm relaxing with a well-earnt beer.LBM 11/06/2010: DFD 30/04/2013Total repaid: £10,490.316 -

evil-kanevil CLF! Good for you! I'd be far too scared!
Ziggy sorry to hear the black dog has raised it's head. You know it'll pass and you are ALWAYS a pleasure in the group. The black dog only goes back in it's kennel when we show it who is master x
I'm leaving to pick up madam around 2.30 and need to call in to town and pick up her school bag she left in Maccy D! We're enjoying the child free peace! I'm refashioning a long sleeve t-shirt in to a wrap topAfter a lot a lot of sewing, practicing, getting things wrong and giving up, watching endless video tutorials I've really improved and 95% of the things I make become part of my wardrobe. I like to hope I'm getting closer to my dream of making it my living....
I'm going to jump in the bath and have a pamper session once I've finished my top.
Need to hang the washing out
I'm having tea with dd and madam and gd2

What is this thing about rogue tomatoes growing everywhere? Are they from bird seeds? I have a lot in my garden, and I saw some on heh road today. I think it's a new super successful invasive species?
To day I did tidy a corner in dining room and make room for creative stuff on a shelf.
Did my diary
Walked the dog
Washed towels and a duvet and dried outside.
I found a deal on my car recovery service, I will sign up next weekend.
Had last open water swim for the season, other things taking over - so washed wetsuit and am trying to work out how to store safely
