Dresses

After a busy day at work I had my 4th driving lesson. Today I was just practicing what I learned last time. There is a small progress in turning left and right and stirring. I drive quite well on the quiet roads but as soon as it gets bussier I start panicking. 

There is some outfits I tried on on my last shopping trip to Nottingham.The first one was too orange for my liking even though I like the rose pattern on one shoulder but in my opinion it was also too short.

The secon one was too dark for the wedding and also very short. I had an impresion that it makes my hips too wide and make me look fat. 

The third one and the one I bought was classy and not too revealing. 

My sweetie's birthday

Because my sweetie's 34th birthday this year was during the week, I decided to prepare a little surprise and we are going to celebrate it during the weekend. I prepared some strawberries in chocolate and decorated a birthday cake.

I also cooked my sweetie's favourite sphagetti bolognese. I was really struggling with everything because the present has not been  packed. I Just had one hour to prepare everything and myself :) You should have seen the smile on my husband's face when he walked through the door and seen me standing in the hallway with a birthday cake and singing "Happy Birthday" song. Anyway he got a new Nike golf club for £250 a blouse and a T-shirt.

3 Driving lesson

I had my 3 driving lesson today. I practiced more starting on a slope, driving on a main road, round abouts and joining the road to the right and left. I also practiced changing gears and driving on a roundabout.

Pelican:- (Pedestrian Light Controlled Crossing)

These are signal-controlled crossings operated by pedestrians.
Drivers approaching a Pelican crossing is made aware of the crossing because of its traffic lights and zig-zag road markings.
Plan what you are going to do before you get there. If, for example, the lights are on green for some time and people are waiting at the crossing, be prepared to slow down as they could turn to red! Use your mirrors frequently on approach so you know exactly what following traffic is up to and stop on the white line - not after it!
These are signal-controlled crossings where flashing amber follows the red 'Stop' light. You MUST stop when the red light shows. When the amber light is flashing, you MUST give way to any pedestrians on the crossing. If the amber light is flashing and there are no pedestrians on the crossing, you may proceed with caution.
After the lights start flashing, watch out for people making a last-minute dash. Be prepared to let them cross but no not wave others onto the crossing.

Puffin (Pedestrian User-Friendly Intelligent crossings)

These differ from pelican crossings as there is no flashing green figure phase. On puffin crossings the red and green figures are above the control box on your side of the road.

Toucan:- (Two-Can Cross)

On toucan crossings cyclists are permitted to ride across the road. 

Pegasus

The Pegasus crossing is similar to any other light controlled crossing, but in addition to provision for pedestrians (as at a Puffin Crossing) and/or cyclists (as at a Toucan crossing) the Pegasus crossing makes special provision for horses.

Driving lesson No 2

I had my second driving lesson yesterday. I was so stressed that I couldn't concentrate at driving and I couldn't remember what I learned last week. I have a bad feeling that I will take a long time before I learn how to drive. I was so stressed that I even told my instructor to not to talk to me while I am driving because I can't concentrate. You can have a look at my progress card.

And my hanging baskets :) 

My little flowers are starting to grow :)

Relax

I have got evening for myself. I ordered some cosmetics from AVON so I jumped to the shower scrubbed my body, done my manicure and pedicure, waxing, put a face mask on and I am writing a post. 

There is few pictures of our office which I took today. Do not look at the mess. At least we know where everything is :)

Army v Navy

Last weekend we had spent in London at rugby match. One of my hubby's friend organised day out in London. We had to travel to Grantham to catch the train to London and than a tube to Twickenham. The weather was great and we really enjoyed the match. The atmosphere was superb. There was no rivalry between fans of both teams. We were supporting Army because half of Mick's friends were in the army and their children are in Afganistan. The teams consict of the best of the best from army and navy but even though Army won 47 - 10. There is some pictures from that day.

We went back to Grantham and spent night at Michael's colleague. On Sunday I was so tired that after we had dinner I felt asleep on the sofa and slept till 22:30.

Picnic with family

 

Bautiful weather, good wine and my lovely family and day is just perfect. I miss my family very much. Because there is too many miles to travel to Poland and not many days of holidays I can book I am limited to see my family just few times a year. We are going to see them soon - at the end of June. We are goint to Poland for two weddings. My sister and best friend are getting married and apparently I am a chief bridesmaid on both of them. I have to buy some outfits soon.

1st driving lesson

I have just finished my first driving lesson. I have got a very calm and patient instructor who recons that I drive really good and I am going to learn quicker than avarage person. But I atill don't believe him because I don't feel that comfortable behind the wheel. All I learned so far is how to start and stop the car, driving on the round about and turning. I still have to practice a lot to get my reactions faster and turn the moves in to the habit.

Garden ideas

Because summer comes so fast i decided to do small reaserch and find some inspirations for my garde. I have nearly all the furniture collected but I still need to work on few details like plants, pillows and lanterns. There is some pictures for you to have a look at. Maybe you will also find something inspiring.
