Driving, dogs and Dave

Well it's been awhile and a few things have happened, some good and some sad.
I booked my theory test, took it and passed it :D I was soo chuffed, one step closer to driving. I'm now working on my diving confidence and hopefully it won't be too long til im passing the practical. We shall see though, not in any rush just so long as I do it right.

The sad news is that Jazz who we had rehomed from The Dog's Trust passed away at the end of march. The whole family was gutted, but we gave her a good year with us and she didn't have to be stuck in a kennel.

From this sad news does however come some optimistic news, we have rehomed a new dog from The Dog's Trust, this time coming from Evesham. Hs name is Bowie (even if he doesn't seem to think so) and we get the feeling he was not well treated before being found as a stray. His and english setter cross and he has a lovely nature when he lets you see it. He is however very nevous and anxious of people, sudden noises etc so while we know hes got a loving home, it's going to take some time for him to get the hang of it. I'm writing my blog downstairs just to keep an eye on him, i don't mind tho as every so often he comes up to have a nosey at me.

In other news, dave has been offered training with barnardos for thier summer scheme, unfotunatley they didn't offer him the job that is after the training. he still might get work if one of the other is ill/absent though so theres a small glimmer of hope. he has applied for a scholl position but i get the feeling it's going to be a who you know rather than personal merit type deal so hes got no chance. However you never know and hey may go for him, he has got best part of two years at Roseheyworth to back him up.

I'm currently plodding along at work, theres some overtime hours going at the moment and i'm getting a few of them which is keeping me busy. Currently on a week off which im going to enjoy as much as i can. Today is dog sitting day as i'm the only one in and we only had him on sun so still very unsure of everything. Plannng a lil trip out 2m with dave as a birthday pressie for him as im working next week when his actually birthday is.

Thats about it really, been playing wow a fair bit and watching csi miami on dvd. I've rented The Last Airbender to see how it compares to the series (i've heard not too well so i'm not expecting much)

Off i go then take care all
