Questions for 4 - 6 October
I almost forgot to post this. We went to opening night of a new tapas restaurant, and it was awesome! I think it will be my new favourite in town. I had been missing a couple of Auckland restaurants (Casablanca - Moroccan, and Bar Comida - Spanish) but this is as good as Bar Comida so I'm very happy.
4. How long have you known the last person you texted?
It was Greg - a couple of years longer than we've been married.
5. Do you keep notes, drawings, or letters that people give you?
Rarely (and rarely get them) though if it was a drawing, I probably would. I do ofteno keep cards.
6. Have you ever locked yourself out of your car?
No; I always locked my cars with the key which prevented that. But on a four-day tour of Wales, a friend locked us out of our hired car not once, but twice. Apart from that, the worst was Greg locking his car - with the key still in the ignition and the motor running - and promptly leaving to catch a plane while I shivered outside in the cold. I had to call the AA and fend off airport people telling me I couldn't park there.
A couple of other times, he locked himself out and had to walk home for a spare key. [shakes head in disbelief]
We now have electric cars which use our phones or fobs as keys. Mine unlocks when I approach and I've set it to automatically lock when I walk away. In the two years we've had the cars, Greg hasn't locked himself out of his (or mine) once, but it's only a matter of time before he leaves his phone in the car; a few other owners have managed that one.
Why the icon? You have to name your Tesla in the software, and mine's Liberator. Greg's is Pippi Longrange. :D
