4/5 - never had an accident caused by me, never had a speeding ticket, had 2 parking tickets. Pretty good I think. And I can drive a manual.
I'm wondering though, whether anyone driving would give themselves less than 3?
2. Mmm, start with a gorgeous light salad - maybe rocket, parmesan & pine nuts? Main - would have to be roast lamb or pad see ew. Dessert - Homemade pavlova
- much better than bought.
3. Somebody wise once said to me: sometimes it's better to accelerate than brake (my grandma)
4. Recruitment!!! I've done over 60 interviews in the last 2 months for new leaders. I'm over it!!!!!!!!!!
5. Much more secure in myself. Much more qualified. Happy with myself as a person. Content a bit more, and probably knowing about God more, but not loving him as much.

1. Rate yourself as a driver, out of 5 - I was thinking about this question as I came home - I congratulated myself on being better than the person who almost took me out by turning (to the) right in front of me when I was going straight ahead, then I had to laugh at myself when I bumped the kerb turning into our less-than-friendly driveway. I give myself a 4.
2. What would you order for your last meal? 3 courses aloud. - hmm, you can't hear me Ben so I'm assuming that's 'allowed' - garlic prawns on a bed of avocado and asparagus spears, Bailey-Mortimer lentil pasta sauce or lasagne, chocolate pumpkin cake from Sol Breads with a dollop of choc-mint chip soy ice-cream.
3. Somebody wise once said to me.. Just because someone doesn't agree with your opinion, doesn't mean that your opinion is wrong...actually, that may have been my own thought...how about, "Being a public servant does not make you a public doormat," which in some ways is similar.
4. Something you want to get finished this week - going to the gym every day before work [and I did too. :-) ]
5. In what ways are you a different person compared to a decade ago? - more comfortable in my own skin - feel less need to 'prove' myself to others.
