So, rather embarrassingly I have reached the age of 35 (and 17 years of driving) without being able to reverse park a car.
I don’t know why this is. I am not thick. While not a terribly confident driver, I am competent (mostly). I also have issues copying techniques as a mirror image during my martial arts class, so potentially there’s maybe a co-ordination issue going on in my brain.
Anyway, since selling the folding camper, there is now a space in front of our garage. The driveway is narrow and involves reversing round from a weird angle and squeezing between the wall of the house and a large hedge.
Last night, I finally managed to park it (okay, I did about a 10 point turn to get it in, but let’s not get picky), so I send Akra a triumphant text in which it appears my typing is as bad as my driving: “YAY! I managed to park the cat!”
WTF?

One thing at a time, perhaps! Parking both cars and cats are useful skills…

I frequently send text messges to my adult kids signed ‘nun’. They are getting used to it.
