I learned on a manual too and that was the problem. I was scared that the engine would die on each traffic light and didn't want to be in the way of other drivers :) Now I'm driving an automatic car and couldn't be happier :) As long as you have somebody to drive you around, it's good :)
Yes, these are the best places to be. It's getting rainy and cold over here so I'm afraid I won't be able to go outside too much, but I hope there will be a couple of more days this year that I'll still be able to enjoy outdoor.
There were time when I loved shopping, now I really avoid that. However I do enjoy shopping for food. I love cooking as well and I enjoy searching for ingredients.
Thank you for stopping by Joan :)
