Spring, Clocks, Easter, and a Party or two

Yup, thats pretty much the last few days.

It’s spring, as if the general popualce hasn’t already realised. It’s the season of weird weather (traditoinally to my mind) and we’ve certainly had that. A few weeks back, it felt like summer had skipped over spring. Now, the cooler edge to the weather is back, not that i’d notice. I know a few people who’ve moaned that the clocks going forward has messed with thier body clocks. Personally, i’m in doubt about whether i actually have a body clock, so i was mostly unaffected. The late nights around the time didn’t help much if i’m honest.

Easter’s on its way. I do belive Easter Sunday is the 12th. We break up for the choclate driven festivities in the name of the one who died ofr our sins on the 3rd, this Friday. Some are looking forward to much choccy and more choc. Personally, I wouldn’t pehaps say no to a large amount of choccy, but I don’t expect much, this time is to remember the new life being born, and how our sins where taken by one man so we may all be saved. But, at any rate, i’m looking forward to the break from the increasinly frantic A Levels.

i haven’t posted scince the 16th, the day after we got back from my Lake-side cycling Birthday celebrations. And such, many things have happened scince then. Well, some things, perhaps not that many. Mat had a meal out for his birthday, ‘Hello, Cafe Zamzams? Yes, i’d like to book a table for 23′!!!. It was fun, even if i did wander down to the green, following friends on their way home, having fun along the way. Indeed, being 18 and mucking about in the park at something past 11 is rather fun. That friday, we went bowling for Tashys birthday. After the major failure with the train, and thus the bus (lol rhyme), we had a good evening. Normally, i’m quite good at bowling, but that evening i was ‘chivalrous’ and let the brithda girl win (i just did crap for some reason). Raymonds 18th was the day after, but he had major courseworks to do, so his celebratiopn wasn’t untill the next weekend. We went to his house and watched a film and had chinese (or pizza for those who didn’t like forgein foods, which pizza isn’t of sarcastic course).

Monday the 30th I had an “assesment session” at WGTA. It was easy, tested to GCSE standard, I coasted. After a trotf round Worcester i returned to Malvern, and pedaled down to school, despite it having ended moments after arriving. But, it was for a good reason! Our Japenese Sensei had asked us all over for ‘tea’. It was fun, the whole calss, all 6 of us, walked over to her house. Then we knelt round the table (yes knelt, ow my poor battle worn knees) and the stood up again to dress the girls in kimono’s. I got them to play rock-paper-scissors to decide on the colours. After that we kenlt down again, and then i stood up to help sensei with the Tea (ocha, traditional Jap tea) and played host (which was rather professional, apparently). Sensei then showed us how to make onigiri, rice balls, and rolled sushi. It was all very tasty. Then Jo had brought along a cheesecake. Presented on the table we sat around saying it looked too good to cut up. After some hesitation of the group, I offered to cut. I’ve done it at home so often, i didn’t think much of it. But, apparently, it looked very professional, very skillful. It was really fun, tanoshikatta desu.

Then Tesuday, Driving test. Mike and I did an emergency stop (the only thing we hadn’t yet covered), then we went for it. Met the examiner, did paperwork, got int he car. It all felt good, but that one stupidly invisible car caused a major, and thus a fail (DAMMIT). And most annoying? the next available slot isn’t for a month!!!! And the cost of said test have gone up. Oh well, next time…

Until the next post,

Uncle Austin Wozzer
