I am trying to remind myself that learning is incremental, and that you don’t always move forwards. (Especially when you’ve tried reversing into parking bays for the first time.)
Interest rates can go down as well as up, as well we know. But it’s frustrating when you’ve a limited chunk of time booked for driving lessons to start me off again.
Still, there are some good things – building up familiarity with roads I know I will need to use locally, gradually learning I don’t have to change down gear by gear every time I approach a queue of traffic.
The sun has shone pretty much all week so far, which helps. I have survived driving roads which I worry about, like Sir Harry Lauder Road, and my roundabouts are improving a bit. I have even discovered what electric wing mirrors are for – only to be aware that I won’t have them in the car I’ll get to drive.
Was reading yesterday about kids’ behaviour deteriorating just before they master a big developmental change. Maybe I can claim the same, and some smoother driving is just around the corner…
