Yo

Over the last few days England has defiantly lived up to its name of being soggy, or at least it has down my way. It’s been raining on and off for the best part of three days, with Sunday being the last day when we had a decent amount of sunshine. Ah well, that’s England for you I guess.

I’ve been pretty busy with things really - I’ve spent the last few days renovating my bedroom with help from my brother and dad, giving it a bit of a modernization. The old floorboards, paint, carpet, shower tiles etc have all gone and have been replaced with beech effect laminate flooring which looks nice. It’s wanted doing for ages - it looks clean, modern and tidy now. New 12v low energy spotlights have also been put in the ceiling, so there is now a lot more light in the room. If I get bored, I might get one of them dimmer switches and change the standard on/off light switch with a dimmer switch. Could make the room look a lot romantic!

In other news, I know it’s a bit late but I picked up my AS results last week from college. I got a C overall for IT, and a C for Media. I’m not too happy about some of the grades for IT, because I put a lot of fucking hard work into the units. Ah well. I’m happy about the C for media, because that was the grade I thought I’d get anyway - I didn’t put as much work in as I could have done I admit, hence why I’m happy.

I also did my driving test last Thursday. It was my first test, and unfortunately I failed. Although I failed, my examiner had a good reason to fail me - I admit I made a few mistakes (for instance cutting a car up at a roundabout) when I should have given way to it, so he was fair. I’ve re booked it now, but I’m keeping the date fairly quiet! I have a car now as well. Well, I kinda have a car. My dad’s Ford Escort van is in for repair, and because he didn’t want to be without a car, he brought another car to use while his can is being repaired. When it’s back, the car will become mine. When I pass, I’ll be driving a Ford Escort SI Estate - 1.8 litre, 16v. I’m happy because I have a fairly decent car, with a fairly decent engine and a lot of space. Just what I want.

Tomorrow people are picking up their GCSE results (the year below me kinda thing) so good luck to anyone who is doing so tomorrow.

I’ve also posted photos of the Walton on the Naze 2007 carnival over on my gallery.

All for now,

Jamie.
