Learning to drive

Daniel is having driving lessons and we waited for him to come back from his drive tonight.

He mounted the curb and stalled the car as he turned to come up the drive.
I was pissing myself laughing when he got in but he wasn't amused.
I'll be glad for him when he does pass mind you, it'll save me being taxi driver everywhere and i can drink for a change.

I wondered what it would be like to be a driving instructor ? taking people i fancy for a drive up lonely streets and across the moors.

I'll store that thought for later i think.

Late for work

My bloody car broke down this morning and made me late for work. I'm sure they thought i had just slept in.
I might as well have just rung in sick the amount of hassle i had all day about it.
But when i was off sick last time i didn't get paid so i decided against it.
There are three waiting days before i get any pay when i am ill, this is supposed to discourage people from ringing in sick for no reason, and in this instance it worked.
But there is no incentive to force yourself into the office where i work. If i come in feeling ill there is no sympathy. You are expected to do the same work at the same speed and no-one will so much as ask how you are doing or show some gratitude that you have dragged your backside out of bed, even though you might feel like you are dying.

One of the women who i work alongside in our office is in her late 50s, possibly early 60s, i don't know.

But she is a bit frumpy and wears the smelliest, flowery, floral perfume i have ever had the misfortune to breathe in.
She stinks. And I'm convinced that some days she doesn't have a shower in the morning, preferring to put another layer of perfume on instead.
Imagine having to put up with that when you feel ill or after a heavy weekend ?.

I may need the money but in future any slight opportunity to skip off for the day and I'm there.

Highway to hell

I was supposed to be going to Blackpool this weekend, but it all fell through, we had a fall out with Steve and Ryan so they went in Ryan's car without us.
As we didn't want to go to the same place as them and bump into each other on the sea front Daniel though we should just go for a drive, which we did, totally unplanned. Just get in the car, set out on the open road, drive in whatever direction we wanted and end up in Barnsley!.

Don't ask me why, it wasn't intended, we just wanted a day out and drove where the car took us.
Of all the places i can think of going to Barnsley isn't one of them. So we then set off up the Motorway towards Leeds in hope of finding something to do or see. It was like a really expensive version of Google Street maps. Just views of building and roads from the comfort of my car that was drinking petrol like there was no tomorrow.
We then drove along the M62 over the tops and back home again.
What an exciting life we lead, and a great day out. Two queers in a clapped out banger looking for some excitement on a bank holiday Monday and doing nothing other than drive around in circles.

All the things we could have done.
Can you tell how this Diary is gonna pan out ?
