Did you have a good weekend?
How are my weigh-ins going, I hear you ask? Very well, thank you (what, you didn't ask and don't give a fig? well I'm going to tell you anyway). Last Friday I was bang on target. I think I tried harder during the week because the previous Friday when I hadn't shifted a pound, P said if I didn't make any progress I would get 18 strokes of our school cane. Well I made progress so no strokes. There, wasn't too painful was it?

Now a silly snippet, the girl across the road from us is having driving lessons, she's really nice well the whole family are actually, but I've winced on the two occasions I've see her start her lesson, she's stalled and then kangaroo jumped off down the road both times, I told P her instructor just sat there, I mean he's got dual controls, the least he could do would be to help the poor girl get away smoothly from her own house. P disagreed, he said everyone has to learn, the dual controls are just for emergencies. Then he said it wasn't a bad thing if she found it tough, she might quit and that would be one less woman driver on the road. How unkind! Good job I know his sense of humour.
Later I showed P this lovely little cartoon.

I asked him if he thought it was the right way to proceed. He smiled and said 'Maybe in some cases, but then again if the learner were like you they might just keep failing.' Now I wonder what he means by that.
Out yesterday, Mother's Day, so catch up with you all soon.
