I got my Driving Licence! (New Doctor Who & Travel)
7 years ago
General
So last week I finally passed my Driving Practical Test and have now got my full Driving Licence! I'm now looking for a 2nd hand car to buy and use as a run-around; a nice small Japanese car (because you can't beat Japanese cars) that is cheap to run and will last while I settle into the driving seat. ...I was looking at a year 2000 top of the range Daihatsu Sirion 1.0 +5dr in Yellow with all of the kit on it; it looked so cool like an old style rally car! Unfortunately it was sold today, a day before I was going to test drive it. (and hopefully buy it...)
In other news, I've been watching the new Doctor Who with Jodie Whittaker and it's been amazing! The first episode was probably the best inductions to a new doctor we've ever had since Christopher Eccleston; jumping straight into the plot and not taking half of the episode to actually become interesting (David was just laying in bed all episode, Matt was faffing about with food, Peter was moping around for more than half of the episode.). The 2nd episode... wasn't that good; it was just all about the lead up to the Tardis reveal; but it still manages to keep interest throughout (but will be forgotten in the long run). The 3rd episode... wow... I don't know how you can watch that and not cringe, recoil, grit your teeth and just want to leap out and punch them... (And if you don't feel this to even a lesser extent, then I am disgusted with you) The real wonder I have with this episode is that... how on Earth did the actors actually make it feel so real? They spoke so powerfully about their 'beliefs' as if they believed it themselves... but you come away from that episode thinking... some people are still like that today, and it's revolting. ...Aaaand then there is the fourth episode which I've just watched; and that is a HUGEEEEEEEEEE middle finger to Trump. Like... the biggest middle finger in the world. And I've seen some big middle fingers in my time; but I can honestly say that it's the biggest I've ever seen, demonstrably the greatest middle finger, trust me... Huge. Basically the last two episodes were two big middle fingers to America saying they need to get their act back together; or finally get it straight for the first time.
And to answer my question from last journal; in December I am travelling to Riga, Lativa, next and then Tel Aviv & Jerusalem, Israel, in July next year! However I'm still looking to going to another place at some point next year, but need someone to go with as my best friend
Phoenixrage16 is unable to join me. (Was intending to go to Montreal for the Canadian F1 Gran Prix) However, after doing Estonia last December and Latvia this December I think it's only right that I go to Lithuania next December to complete the Baltic trio.
