One of the key achievements in life that I have yet to conquer is getting my license and on the road. Thankfully, as of today, I am one step closer. Four and a bit years after I became eligible to drive, I took my theory test and passed first time. Not that this is a particularly big achievement; I have yet to find anyone who has managed to fail it. It wouldn't matter anyway, as any elation from the result was soon dispelled as I had to spend the next hour in Dudley town centre waiting for a lift home (the irony).

Sunday and Monday were fully spent rolling around in wall insulation and wearing as much cobweb and dead bug as possible while climbing around the rafters of our 1950's house. Really a bit disgusting, but necessary to get the broadband wired up the way we want it. My grand scheme seems to have worked and now all the computers in the house have an internet connection, except perhaps my macbook which is looking even sadder since the guy at the Apple store last night confirmed there is something seriously wrong with it. I'm going back in an hour to have a Genius look at it properly.

The culmination of all this has meant the past two days have been little but slow and no progress has been made on things I should have been concentrating on. If this has affected you in someway, I am sorry and I'll be fully back on track tomorrow.

In the meanwhile, I have a train to catch.
