Failed. Again. But not exploded, so somewhat relieved.
We are having very odd snow! It has been falling for hours, and it settling only on cars and rooves. The road is perfectly clear. Very odd. Hopefully the last snow of winter, then spring can get cracking! Crocuses, daffodils and snow is an odd combination.

I failed my third driving test today. I am really disappointed and feel like a complete failure. Lots of hugs and comfort have alleviated this a little, and Barry the hired cat has helped a lot, but I still feel heavy and dim inside. It was better than my other tests, though, and the moment I crash-bang-walloped into the kerb, I knew it was all over. Saved the suspense from killing me for the next half hour.

My mice are angels, they really are. I love them so much. Maisy is crunching on a yogurt pot as I write. Seems the concept of a food being on top of an object is too hard for a mouse to grasp. Thus, they are prone to eating the whole thing that smells of food. I am just trusting Maisy isn't actually ingesting the plastic. She is the less dim of my two girls, so hopefully not. Dipstick mouse!

I have little else to say. Most things have been building up to the ill fated test recently, so now everything is a bit bleak. I must comment, however, on how wonderful the Spanish are being in the face of these attacks, I just love the way they all go and stand on the street and say 'we are not afraid of you', rather than hiding or deciding to bomb the whole world. I am rather proud to be European today.
