A test hands back a result, and you either pass it or carry it home in the car.
A practice hands back nothing, and then it is Wednesday again.
I have been turning up to tests. Six sessions, six verdicts, all self-issued.
Which is why a hundred and twenty that would not move on the Tuesday
was still sitting on my chest at work on the Friday,
and a dinner I burnt the same week cost me a shrug.
