Here are my answers to this week’s questions from Pensitivity100

Do you feel comfortable walking in your neighbourhood at night?

Darling, I don’t even feel comfortable driving in my neighbourhood at night!

Jokes aside – I live in a very safe neighbourhood and I do feel comfortable walking short distances at night but nowhere in the world would I walk alone at night. This is because anything could happen anywhere. What if I fell or had a heart attack and there was no one around? At a certain age, one has to be sensible.

During the day I walk everywhere alone and don’t feel even the slightest bit unsafe. However, I don’t walk in lonely places for the same reason as not walking alone at night.

When you shop for day-to-day things, do you pay by cash or card?

I always pay using a card. I don’t keep cash on me except when I have to pay my dues for Book Club.

When was the last time you dressed up for a special occasion?

The last special occasion was on board MSC Orchestra a few weeks ago. We were celebrating our daughter’s birthday and having a special get-together as our grandson was about to leave the country. We didn’t have to dress for dinner but the girls and I like dressing up and so does my grandson, Josh. Grandpa and Jay – not so much!

Have you ever lied about your age?

My parents lied about my age because when I was a kid, those under 12 got into the drive-in for free. I was 11 for about 4 years.

When people say, “You look good for your age before they even know how old I am, I say, “I’m 90 you know.” The look on their faces is priceless!

Gratitude:

Making someone happy reaps its own rewards.

I am really grateful for my friends and family who always make me feel happy when I am around them.
