driving test and just lots of really pointless rambling

i went to do my sri lankan driving theory test the other day! it was really fun! they gave us a number (i was 233) and told us to turn up at some primary school for 1.30. i am always very punctual (stop it, i am!) so arrived at 12.30 and waited for an hour in the dusty yard under some avocado trees. during that time i did some standing up, some crouching and some poking things with sticks. OOO and the most exciting thing was that i saw a huge green ant, it was green. and really big for an ant.

then other people started arriving and it was 1.30! but schools don't kick out till 2.30! so we all waited for the children to leave so we could get into the classrooms and do the test! so i waited for another hour in the sun. during that time i did some more crouching, some dropping things in the sewer and some drawing on the floor with my umbrella ferrule (vocab.). it wasn't as much fun as the first hour!

finally it's home time for the kids and test time for us, all 250 of us! so the organiser bloke gets on a chair and calls out numbers for people to go and take the test, but he stops at 125. why??? because the classroom is too small to hold more than that! you see there is always a logical answer to these things! so i wait another hour. in this hour i reprised all my activities from the previous two hours, and also ran off in a frantic hurry to buy a pen cos i didn't have one.

so 3.30 comes and we go into the classroom. there are only about 80 child-sized desks so everyone else (and me) have to do the test on our knees. it takes me only 8 minutes because i am VERY CELVER and then i leave.

it was a really fun day!!!

i need to lie down, have some pics to keep you company



it's a frog what was in a pond somewhere. see its little eyes!



this is a mine for mining things, the way it works is, you go into it and mine things, then bring them up and sell them!



here are some things from the mine, these are all rubbish but they are still made of emeraldy sapphirey stuff, they just aren't worth anything because the colour is wrong and they have flaws and they're uncut.
