Congrats to our son ... passed his driving test 1st time (like his big sis did 3 years ago ... yay!) last Thursday. Now he has to complete a 25 hour log book over 6 months so should be able to go on the roads on his own at the end of November - we won't know ourselves haha!
I've been busy painting bobbins - 139 in the last 8 days!!! still quite a few to go and another order arrived 2 days ago for 29 - so no peace for the wicked!!! I did get to go out for the day yesterday "up into the hills" to the monthly WA Branch (Aus Lace Guild) meeting and managed to do about 4 inches of the lace strip that I have on the go at the moment .... It was lovely weather (even though Winter here in Australia officially starts tomorrow), sunny and around 24°c and was the same today (not that I was out in it!
Pic here was taken back in January when we got our son his Holden Astra car .... it's been good practice for me driving a manual again as my own car is an auto but the 2 cars which I will be hiring in August in the UK will be manual.... Just in case any of you are wondering I haven't forgotten my promise to Raffle a "Wild Woman" Brooch ... I just haven't transferred the pics to this computer yet .... please stay tuned.... :-) I have quite a stash of pics to transfer .... and with my monthly Embroidery day on Friday ...there should be some more....

Thankyou for the kind comment you left on my blog. Congrats to your son - what a great idea to get new drivers to keep a log book for 6 months and not let them drive alone for that time. Ours are let straight onto the roads - motorways included - so dangerous.
You poor soul-I remember the days of my sons as beginning drivers. Stock up on hair dye to get rid of the grey ones. (Actually mine were pretty tame drivers, thank goodness) 24 Celsius=74 or 75 Fahrenheit-I could take that kind of winter. The middle of our winter here in Montana is usually around 0F, or lower-sometimes many degrees below zero Fahrenheit!
