Slip and Slide

Yesterday I took a course in car handling. Slipping on a wet surface, emergency breaking and trying not to hit a water wall. I had so much fun especially with the slipping. You drive your car about 20 mph over some kind of device and it pushes against the back of your car. Because of the wet surface the car enter a slip and you have to correct it while driving. I handled it quite well 3 out of 4 times but one times we had the car turning in circles. Which was great fun as well :)
I was very very nervous before I had to go, but everything turned out great. I would do it again any minute. I learned a lot from it and man.. can I handle some car now :)
Oh and emergency breaking with 50 mph is quite ehm it takes sooo much force to stop the car in soo many meters. I will probably try when entering a road jam to avoid breaking and just avoid the cars in front of me.... it felt empowering... that's the word :)

Books

Well have you ever collected all the books from the living room to put them away on the shelves. And you had to put them on top of the top shelf. And there were still books left in your living room, and bed room. And there was no space left... and it feels like they are going to take over..
But somehow you like it...cause you love every one of those damn books.
Just need a new system :)

Happy new Year

Happy new Year y'all...
Hope you had a nice night and a great party. I was home about 9.30 am.
I had helped setting up the party in my local bar with a couple of friends. I really had so much fun doing so. At one point we made a crime scene picture on the ground. I lay down with my knees twisted and one of the guys from the bar taped all around me. It was really nice because we made it on the floor of the see through walking bridge that ran over our heads in the main dancing hall.
So in day light it was really hard to see but when the party started once looking up you could see it.
I had skipped the party till about 2 am but when I entered the guy came up to me and said: oh people love it :)
I ran into a lot of people I hadn't seen in a while. That was great fun as well. The weirdest one being my old neighbour kid. He always had a big head full of curls and now he was bold. We did not recognize each other for the first couple of minutes but then it was great to talk to him again.
I slept through the day and then woke up for dinner. Then slept some more.
Now I have to rise again in about 3 hours to go to work.... and i am wide awake....
But happy new year!
