Driver's Ed

...and no, I don't mean the book of that title by Caroline Cooney. I've been spending the last few days poring over the California DMV books, to prepare for the written tests I took this morning. I failed both tests (the regular driving one and the motorcycle test) the first time around, to my utter shock. I mean, it had been years since I had failed a test. But then I passed, and now I have a permit! I can learn to ride my pretty new Piaggio scooter.
So far as other reading goes - I was dismayed when I finished the last Dame Frevisse book over the weekend. I'm comforting myself with Elsie Oxenham's Abbey Girls books.
