Me too @WombatBoots and @Jacques
Yes my son did heaps today .. we found a good spot ..
but I threw cold water on it because I found out today I may not be able to drive him any more .. I kept saying get your own licence and you can have the car .. he still cant drive .. and the car will just sit there .. I guess I am still lucky to have a car .. my father never had one or learned to drive .. son may also may have gotten some students from today so that will be good for his self esteem.
He expressed a little annoyance which was appropriate .. but we gotta take each day by day.
@Jacques farm animals are really good for me too. Thank you all for listening. and @hazelhawk

Hi @Appleblossom. Sorry about the temporary loss of licence. It's good that you can see some positives with more exercise. I've chosen not to drive for the past couple of years through lost confidence and concern about the effect of medications. I used to get around well with public transport in Melbourne. Hoping this works out well for you.

WOW what a great Friday feast, I've been so busy reading and writing.
@Appleblossom knows the technical side of it, but peers sharing with peers has been proven to be the most evective therapy thus far.
@everyone thank you for my "free" therapy 🙂
have a great weekend everyone
I need to sleep

Ah well @Appleblossom, i am sure it will not be taken away too long, have you tried sending a letter to the police department, you may be able to allow them to give your licence back, my father got done not wearing a seatbelt about 17 years ago, he sent in a letter, he had to pay a fine but they didn't take any points away.
i am glad you enjoyed the farm animals they give me great comfort and happyness

I just like looking out the window in the train .. its peaceful and a long trip into town. I like watching other people. It cuts my isolation even if it is just sharing a carriage.
I do love all you people .. thanks for hanging out.
