A great moment indeedTHE Hockey Star has passed his driving test. Congratulations My Boy. First time too. Much clucking and chest puffing from mother hen. Of course.
Actually he passed it 12 days ago but it has taken that long for his provisional driving licence to come through. The definitive official driving licence could take (shrug of shoulders here from driving school receptionist, and pause while she thinks of a reasonable lie so that I don't get cross, "Perhaps two months. But of course with August in between it could be longer. As you know it's Trafico not us "... blah, blah, blah).
Still he can now drive my car, if he can still remember what to do.
All that is left is for us to hand over an almighty large amount of dosh to the insurance company this afternoon and spit-and-stick the L plate to the back window (where of course it will interfere with his rear-view vision but hey, what are side mirrors for?)
Ah yes, L plate?
Driving school receptionist "Ah well, we haven't received those yet but I'll let you know as soon as we do."
Luckily I still have MiniMama's L-plate, so we'll use that.
Be warned, there is a new driver on the road. I hope my nerves are up to it...
