Following Lovebeigecardigans1955 do you say ‘garrige’ or ‘gararge’ for garage?

Gararge, French style?

Do you prefer a glass screen for your shower or a shower curtain?
(I have a glass screen but really prefer the old style curtain, the screen just makes more work so I have draped a lightweight large plastic tablecloth over it so no drips touch it!)

We have 3 showers and they are all walk in with sliding glass doors. We only use one though when it’s just DH and me.

Will your next car be electric?

Good question. I somehow don't think there will be a next car for me. At almost 84 I'm on the downward slope in my driving days now. Added to which, I can't afford an electric car.
My old banger and I will just chug along until one of us runs out of juice. - And then I'll buy a motor bike! .

No AGAA4 a family tree is a definite no no for me.

What age do you think one should consider giving up driving?

90:- as long as you have an automatic car, your sight is good, and your right foot is strong…..

How many really good friends do you have, those you can confide in, those who will help you out in a crisis (and I don’t mean financially.) I had one of those who drove me 200 miles so that I could visit a dying friend and I was too upset to drive.

I have just one really good friend in that category. Others I can rely on somewhat but not to the same extent.
