Another hurdle behind me

Just a short update to let everyone know that as of today, I have maintained my status as a competent driver, two left feet and all. In two weeks, I will receive a letter which I can take to the town hall in order for an adjusted license to be made.

All thanks go to my jaunty driving instructor, Mr. Oerlemaans and my brain that is still capable of acquiring new knowledge. Hip-hip hurray!

I'm relieved both that I passed the test and that lessons are over. The test went as calmly as had I envisioned it though it didn't hurt to have a little nervousness under the arms. One doesn't want to be so cocky, after all, when all could go wrong in a second. Now I can get on with other things. Of course, I gave myself time this afternoon to think about what those things could be. First, I shall get on with ironing, washing dishes, cracking nuts, and just let the inner wheels turn as they may.

Now that I have my license, I can rent a car back home like before. And, as long as I don't own an auto here, I thought it might be an idea to at least rent one once in a while just to keep me sharp. You know, tour the wine fields of France or something.
