Apparently driving on the wrong side of the road while shifting gears and checking my blind spot to cross out of a busy roundabout keeps my ADD highly entertained!
I rented a car to drive out to Stonehenge and New Forest for the day and had a ball zipping around in my little tiny standard rental car (a Citroen M3). Stonehenge was beautiful, though packed with tourists (damn tourists). An evening having a nice dinner and seeing a movie completed a rather pleasant date with myself.
This afternoon I was taken out on some Pilot runs (when they take a Pilot out to the giant ships to drive them in to Port) to see what the Marine side of the business is all about. You know me and small boats.... best of friends. This one was lovingly nicknamed "The Vomit Comet" by the ship's Captain. "Not to worry, love, it's only a little rough out there!" he assured me as I climbed aboard. Luckily I managed not to embarrass myself, thank God.
I have begun planning the rest of my time hear, choosing where to spend the time I will have left after wrapping up my valuable experience here at ABP. Already my stomach rumbles for Italian food....
