Something Different

I am happy to say it looks like my wonderful truck in going to be brought by one of my closest friends over here. It makes me really happy as I LOVE that vehicle and its been so trustworthy that I am pleased she can go on to look after a friend.

Because of that I am driving Nics car. Its definitely not a quiet, easy drive. It's a manual instead of Auto. Thats not an issue as such but as I am used to the stick being on the other side of me, I keep taking my left hand off to change gear and find nothing but air! Its also very powerful with the capability of nearly 500 Horsepower. (0-60 in 4 seconds). As you get used to it, its really a fun car but you have to be respectful too. The interesting thing for me is how changing a small thing with something you should know can really affect your performance and confidence.

I think its something we should always keep in mind with life. Firstly to always push ourselves to do something new and a little nerve-wracking. Its good for keeping our egos down if nothing else! Next it helps remind me that for animals its just the same, if not worse as we have made the choice for them.

Anyhow, any change is a big deal. Going back to the UK after a few years here in itself if a shock. I will be interested to see how I find it. The weather, the restaurants, the people and so forth.

We are at the point now, that we have begun to look forward to the move. Things are powering down over here and I am finding it difficult to keep living normally as my brain is all over the place. The house is packed away of many personal items which are of course the things that make the house feel like a home and our life definitely feels like its running between being on fast forward and pause at the moment.

Anyhow, today I have some distraction in the form of a dressage lesson with Sara. I am not really present at the moment but nevertheless, I can at least have some fun!
