Mum's Birthday bash was a load of fun. Not much more to say about it, really; there were lots of people and lots of music. It's always a bit intimidating playing in front of my relatives, who are so diversely talented and have way, way more experience than I do. But I'm being told by far better guitarists than I that I've come a really long way for only having played for a year and a half. Like, a scary long way. (Their words!) I think it's time to start pushing myself again and ride the learning curve.

I'm starting to get a lot more comfortable driving. Mum has been great about taking me out. I had a scary experience whereupon I rolled backward at a stoplight (I was on a steep hill, and driving the standard) and nearly hit the guy behind me (who was way too close to me to start with). I even stalled it once, and had to try again, having rolled back until I couldn't have been more than a couple of inches away from him. I was sure I was going to hit him. But I didn't! I figure if I can pull that off, I'm set for anything.

At this rate I think I'll be super-comfortable by the time I go for my license (at the beginning of October.)
