@Cuddlebear there is an organisation in VIC that periodically did (not sure if they still do?) have said where they go to a racetrack with dual-control cars and vision-impaired people without licenses can have a drive! A friend of mine did it, and had a blast - she never thought she'd ever get to drive because she has been blind since 10yo.
If you are interested in the idea, I'm happy to search backwards and see who the organisation was and if they still do it?

Hi @Shaz51 + everyone.
@Shaz51 sadly son cooking is a once a week thing. The rest of the time it is a me thing. Darling mostly only cooks microwave meals or red rooster drive through :nauseated_face:
Cooked beef and bacon burgers on the bbq tonight.
