Tickets for Monday's gig arrived. They'd sent tickets for the balcony (seated) rather than for downstairs (standing). Not v impressed. However when I complained and said I'd be in the previous gig on Sunday they've actually arranged to meet me there and exchange tickets! V impressed indeed.

Driving theory test this morning. 35/35 on the multiple guess (for the third time running) - pass mark is 30. 64/75 on the hazard perception - pass mark is 44. You can score up to 5 points for each hazard, depending on how soon you spotted it developing. And there are 14 clips, one of which has 2 hazards in it instead of 1. I scored 9 on the clip with 2 hazards. Of the remaining clips I scored 5 on 5, 4 on 6 and 3 on 2. Pretty damned happy with that. Next step: leave it til next working day for number to be passed on to booking system, then organise myself an intensive practical course (prob 10-15 hours over a weekend) with the test at the end of it.

Now I just need to decide what I'm doing this evening. Want to help? [Poll #630236]

Make sugar syrup: add zest of two lemons, steep for 10 mins then strain. Add 250ml gin, 300ml tonic (good stuff, no fake sugar) and the juice of the lemons. Set with leaf gelatine.

Gorgeous stuff, v easy, v posh. Nigella Lawson.

Come to Bmovie! We're going there - for the first time - for G's birthday. (Also drinks at the Kingston tomorrow, if you'd like to join us?)

Did that with me too. The plan (such as it is) is that I'll meet the ticket agency person there and swap then, since she's going to the Monday gig anyway.

Um, this sort of thing has been going on since ever. And it doesn't mean I'm going to do what's most popular!

j4 came home enthusing about the meal, making me even sorrier for having missed it! 'assorted Cake' sounds like it should be made with liquorice allsorts. Just a thought...
