I was driving in London with a rental car, a BMW 320d. I live in a country with right hand driving. Left hand driving is not a problem for me at all, since a few years.

While native British recommends against driving in London (sometimes they are right, it is better to use a Lime bike or take public transport than driving yourself), I find it fun to drive in London. I don't find it stressful.

I am proud of making it to almost 68 years old despite being undiagnosed most of my life. I have far from done this well, but I did it.

Have a good work attendance even after all the bullying and work drama I suffered last year. I was in a very bad emotional state at work and the supervisor got stressed with me, but he should think himself lucky I still turn up to work each day instead of taking much needed time off to recover from all the stress and anxiety I get.

Pascal? I learned Pascal myself a long time ago. I didn't really like it as a language, but then they had us use Delphi (makes GUI frontends to Pascal). I really enjoyed Delphi. Have you ever tried the successor to Delphi, Lazarus?

In answer - yes, Delphi and yes, Lazarus (although it's not a successor, more a cross-platform OSS version of Delphi with the excellent Free Pascal at its core).
Pascal sets many good lessons in place, useful in any language. :nerdy:

"good at"? "Proud of"?

Semantics and pragmatics

Writing

Holding grudges

I am not good at anything, especially now that I have to constantly struggle to stay awake
