Last time I had to drive any distance, and we are only talking driving up to the service station at Exeter, about forty miles away, I sobbed for the entire drive, navigating Haldon Hill with buckets of tears and snotty hankies piling up, I am surprised I made it at all. But that time I took Dave the house rabbit with me, so I had to drive carefully. Poor Dave, all of a sudden he is bundled up into his carry box, strapped onto the passenger seat and driven up the A38 and M5 to meet a Police Officer, who also thought the arrangement slightly odd, but was pleased to meet him. This time, as Froogs and I were doing the ladies who lunch and womble day, it was unfair to cart him off and leave him in the truck for hours so I drove on my own. I was accompanied by Radio Four with a stern female voice who I could imagine telling me to pull myself together and get on with it, so I did.

Hands together please.....
and a standing ovation for me, as I have driven to and from Liskeard, negotiating right hand turns and roundabouts (both absolute phobias of mine), without incident, and without tears.... ta daaaaaaa.....!

The day has been great, lovely to meet up with Froogs and gossip and shop and lunch. Great to have completed the drives there and back without bumping into anyone or anything, and so great to do it all and feel competent and well... hooorrrraaayyyyy!

oh my....
everything is still alright. Had a huge panic attack last night about nothing, which was concerning, but oh wow, things are still good. Think that today I shall not tiptoe through life, trying to make sure that I don't lose this feeling, but try to be more robust and see if it stays even when I am ignoring it, after all it is just a feeling, an emotion, it isn't a delicate crystal glass.... well we will see.
Am off to Liskeard, to womble with Froogs again today, which will be great fun. Made some uber cool cushions with some pillow cases I picked up with her last week. They have fab retro 70's pink flowers on and look great, I am pretty proud of my needle work, as I don't have a sewing machine! then later will watch day two of the British firework competition, which was pretty spectacular last night.

Fingers crossed, and keep on keeping on.
