My steering came on leaps and bounds today and I've got the change from first to second gear licked, but when turning I still can't stay inside the white parking space lines worth shit, stopping the car after reversing ready to move forward has me bamboozled and my rolling second to first gear changes are still on the wonky side. We're working on holding the car still while waiting at junctions then moving again, but I'm stalling a lot there. Peter reckons I'm being too heavy footed. For the third week in a row he's talking about maybe getting out on the road next time, but I think I'm going to be driving round the rugby club car park for a while yet.

Got to go watch Eurovision Semi-Final 1 - with a Coke, as though my stomach's been settled yesterday and today I'm not about to risk alcohol just yet. We in the UK don't have a vote tonight, so we are powerless to stop Dustin the Turkey getting to the final. Do the right thing, Europe - and please vote Slovenia and the Netherlands through.

I can't believe Andorra (a classic 'Eurovision' song), the Netherlands and Slovenia were all knocked out and those muppets from Azerbaijan got through. I'm starting to believe it is something to do with how many friends you've got on the European map.
