Been spending so much time doing odd stuff on facebook - poking people, adding music and places I've been etc. - that I've hardly spared a thought for the poor blog.
I passed my theory test today with no problems - 35/35 on the test itself, but only 54/75 on the hazard perception part, which is a bit dumb really. I lost 5 points because of one stupid clip; you are driving down a country lane, there's a farm, and almost immediately you spot a horse and rider (click) and they are moving along quite erratically (click) and as you draw closer it's obvious the horse is out of control (click) and of course by the time you approach it it swerves across the road (click) - and then the clip ends. You've been clicking pretty much through the whole thing so of course the software thinks you've just been clicking randomly... dumb.
As my PC's away (not fatal this time, just an odd problem with the graphics cards, so I sent it back to the company I bought it from - should be back soon) I've been out in the garden a bit to help Mum. There's a bit round the back of the garage where she's been dumping garden waste for ages, but the problem is the bank is so steep there and the people who came to look at fixing the bank to stop erosion, have said that it's actually making the problem worse. So I've been trying to clear away years of rotted down garden waste, and uncovered the original path and a pile of rubble, all mixed up and a pain to move because of the gradient.. Anyway, good exercise and a few brownie points with Mum.
Not so fussed about the PC going as I've been getting a bit bored with Vanguard recently - too few people (as ever) but as my Ranger gets closer to lvl 50 there's little I can do solo. And my Main is pretty much just a crafter now, which is tedious as hell. Lvl 38 but I can't see myself grinding up to 50 at the moment. So, I might just wait until the big server merge they've been promising for so long - or I may get into the beta program for either Tabula Rasa or Pirates of the Burning Seas, which looks gorgeous. In any case, a rest from Vanguard is in order. So to that end I've bought a couple of new books - The Atrocity Archives by Charles Stross, and Last and First Men by Olaf Stapledon. I've run out of Iain M. Banks novels so I asked the nice girl in Waterstones for a couple of recommendations.
