Stalling, skidding and bunny-hopping is traumatising

I hope you are practising in your parents car... only drive your own when you get good

Nope! Mum only owns an auto so the plan was to learn in my first car! Eek poor thing

I started by doing a bit of driving around in a huge automatic cortina with no power steering first then continued learning in a mini. Even though it was pretty heavy to drive the automatic was good to start in as I learned a bit about steering and getting used to the road without having to learn how to work the gearbox and pedals at the same time.

I bought some new fish today :happy2:

my dwarf rasbora have been slowly reducing in numbers so I restocked with 5 mosquito rasbora. They coloured up almost immediately I put them in the tank and then happily chowed down on a feast of microworms.

Subtle topic change Sophia

I learnt to drive, driving quad bikes, tractors and grandmas car :slfg:

(On the PE topic it's all a matter of opinion, Sports fanatics most likely are going to side with the idea of PE, more acedemic people prefer more acedemic subjects. Just my 2c)

PE taught me nothing about muscles.

Weightlifting on the other hand...

Got some new fish into work today. Some pencil fish. They are pretty legit.

In year 11 PE here you learn every muscle in the body (I'm told never took PE as an option)

Are pencils the same as headstanders? Saw some at the LFS so cool :thup:

No - Pencilfish are Nannostomus around 6cm and peaceful, Headstanders are Anostomus 6 - 16 cm depending on the type are aggressive to co specifics unless kept singly or in a large group.

we did rubish duty for pe today &c:ry

and we played speed ball, when i was about to get a try (touch ball on fence) i felly back and winded myself on the fence &c:ry but i was alright

Don't be upset about it. You should be proud to be a tidy kiwi :thup: Keeping the environment free of litter is a good thing, not something to be despised

The Foxy Morons won quiz again tonight. It was the final for the term competition and we came second in the overall term quiz - those damned Microbes!!! :roll: :happy2:

Did all my "holiday homework" in two hours this afternoon... But I still have to read a book called the kite runner. :yaw1:

an interesting choice for school kids.......... do you know the story already or have you seen the movie?

No, but a mate of mine read it when we were reading Macbeth. Doesn't sound very nice

not very nice indeed

I think the book was well written on the whole though... I didn't see the movie

I have just returned from my walk up the hills. Met the neighbours at the walkway at the end of our street. The 4 yr old looked astounded and asked "How did you get up here by yourself!!" :lol:

Grant claims he is going to clean out the garage some more. Personally I think it is like shifting the deckchairs on the Titanic but we will see. He was going to do it at Christmas but a major flare-up of his RA prevented him doing anything.

I have been playing around with ideas for an Alice in Wonderland themed dinner.

The Queen of Hearts she made some tarts...

These were photographed before the knave knicked 'em

I have some yellow guava jelly dripping :love:

Have been in Wellington for the long weekend. . . Went into a pet store down here, the pet centre. Ended up walking away with an aqua one aquareef 300

Got the tank in the back of the station wagon, pick the stand up on Monday, tie it to the roof racks and drive back to Auckland

Mmm looks yummy Caryl !drool:

today i caught a 6 or so centimetre olive rockfish (Acanthoclinus fuscus) but i called it a NZ SITH DOTTYBACK :slfg:
