Week in the life…
I went away for the better part of the week I had off. What happened? Well about an hour before I left I failed my driving test due to a corgi running out in front of me in the Southbank area of Middlesbrough.
Mr Bear, Mrs Bear and Mummy Bear visited London while it was only an hour’s trip away. Went on the London Eye (very impressive ticket system), walked around the Dali Universe, then the London Aquarium and then took Mummy Bear to Cyberdog in Camden which I think she actually enjoyed.
Been working through the huge backlog of email and blog posts that have accumalated while I’ve been sans computer. I also went away just before Google Chrome was released – using it to write this post. Very impressive – be a real threat to Mozilla when they get the plugin’s ramped up. However I don’t like the fact that it installs itself into Documents and Settings instead of Program Files.
Tonight I am having a curry with friends but my actual birthday party is in October because not everyone can get together on any weekend before that!

Why did you fail your test because a corgi ran out? There’s more to it than that…
I used Chrome for a while but stopped because so many things in Facebook simply don’t work under Chrome, therefore it was useless to me.
I was doing my turn in the road in a side-street of Southbank. As I was completing my turn in the road a lorry had pulled up behind me. When I finished my turn I was told to pull away, so I checked over my left shoulder and as I was turning my head to check my left hand side blind spot I caught a movement out of the corner of my right eye – the corgi had just run out from behind the lorry. I went for the brakes but so did the instructor. I felt resistance from the brake – which I wouldn’t of felt if she beat me to the dual controls – but you can’t argue your case.
