2011 seems to be charging past like a herd of angry and impatient elephants. I feel like we haven't really had time to sit down and take stock. This weekend for instance starts with a session, and then ends with a show day on Sunday. Whilst I knew I had a lot of costume prep to take care of, the majority of Saturday was spent vegging as I believe the popular phrase goes. I had a lovely chat with my Mother in Law last week, and she said that sometimes you just have to say sod it, and put your feet up, forget the washing etc, and have a bit of down time. Well this is exactly what I did. Mrs Plug even cooked, which was nice. Falling asleep in front of the tv in the evening I has the sense of dread that I had done nothing in the way of prep for the show tomorrow, but I think I needed it.
I drove the family car for the first time on the roads today. I drove back from work, with the whole family in the car, which perhaps shows a lack of thought for them, but they all seemed keen, The majority of the journey was spent with the girls saying things like "Oh well done Daddy", and "That was really good". It was 15 minutes of having my head patted to a degree, but I love them for caring and trying to make me feel good. I suspected that they were under strict instructions not to laugh if I did anything wrong, and this was later confirmed to me. I really enjoyed it though, and I think I might end up doing this a lot more to get used to it. The best thing about the experience is that I enjoyed driving the car, which is a relief, as I know that Mrs Plug hates it.
