My hidden skill!!!

A hidden talent came to light last year when I wrote a book and had it published, not bad at 77.

I can touch the end of my nose with the tip of my tongue.

I can do that as well Craftycat but only with my left foot. I haven’t found a use for it yet though, have you?

I can also write fairly legibly holding a pen between my toes but only with my right foot. I sincerely hope I never have to make use of that particular skill!

I join those who are continually asked for advice / directions (my favourite: 'You look like a woman who knows where the toilets are')!
It's 'skill cousin'- that people tell me all sorts of information without me trying to elicit any. This was useful at work - I'm now trying unsuccessfully to give it up.
These however do mean that I don't have the skill that arrives at middle age for many women - that of being invisible!

I can always find four leaved clovers ? found 5 last week!

I can touch the tip of my nose with my tongue and roll said tongue into a tube.

I do a mean reverse park. I was once trying to find a parking space on a busy street and there were several workies in a white van looking on with interest when I started to execute my reverse park. On completion of a textbook reverse park they applauded! If there's ever a Nobel reverse park prize I'll definitely be shortlisted.

I can get jam/honey/chocolate spread out of a jar weeks after other people tell me 'it's empty'

I can touch the tip of my nose with my tongue and roll said tongue into a tube.

I have NEVER found a 4 leaf clover. Do they really exist Janiepops?
I have looked for them.

Not sure it is hidden but I write poetry

This has cheered me up, just what I needed Kittylester, I too can touch my nose with my tongue Tweedle24 and apparently our rolling of the tongue is genetic.

I do have a similar talent as Nannarose and others for being an information , lost people point but I seem to excel at attracting weird and wonderful people that others have an amazing talent for spotting a thousand yards away so they can dodge them. .... I'm rubbish at cutting meat from a chicken or finding 4 leaf clovers

I can do Pitman's shorthand which my adult children knew nothing about. When I showed them, they said it was like hieroglyphics and I was making it up!

ooh I'd forgotten Pitman's ! .... it's probably too well buried for resuscitation so I'd best leave it to you mancgirl

My better half is one of those who can stop a queue at a cash desk just by joining it.

I can smell rain coming and feel it as the hairs on my arms stand up so I get the washing in before it starts, (usually).

My mother could smell snow in the offing, but I can't.

I can waggle my ears. I would love to be able to raise one eyebrow, but so far no success.

Can’t do Pittman’s but can do Greggs

I can still stand on my head aged 67 ! Grandkids think it’s hilarious !

Apparently, according to my 10 year old grand daughter, I make the best lunches. I never knew that.!!!

Pamgeo I can remember a lot of it but now have no speed at all. Wouldn't like to be be taking dictation!

I make the best fried eggs apparently. Cooked to perfection with no snotty bits, no crunchy bits underside and yolk still nice and runny. Knew I was good for something.

Apparently I am the queen of stain removal. I do wish it had stayed a hidden talent and not so many family members knew about it .

I retain amazingly useless facts, but forget pin numbers and passwords, people's names, messages, and anything important.
I can also spot the less than honest at fifty yards.

I can use Greggs and Pitmans shorthand, but my biggest feat is I can still do a handstand!

The things some of you 'can still do' are things I never could do!
