Like several of you, also “good” at procrastinating! It drives me mad! I’m retired and I thought I’d actually get through a never-ending to-do list. Not so. Even after lockdown, the to-do list keeps getting added to - grrrrrr!

Can I put the three things my 5yr old DGS said when he was asked what he was good at for the form at school re his ASD special needs assessment form, they made me laugh
1: I’m quite good at helping people.
2: I’m good at picking up rocks, even spherical ones!
3: I can eat broccoli with cheese , even though it belongs in the bin! Lord I love that boy!!\

1. Needlework, sewing, knitting, mending!

2. Medical and Healthcare, Nursing.

3. Dare Devil Driving! Towing, Skippering, off Roading.

I had my first Driving lesson on a disused Airfield at the Age of 5, and Drove my Dads Automatic Car solo on Private land at the age of 10! Had the Drive of my life in 1996 Off roading around the Cumbrian Mountain Passes including the Hardnott and Wrynose, Loved it!

Procrastinating, seems I’m not alone, Gransnetters seem to share this skill!

I think I’m a good friend, but I guess you’d have to ask my friends to be sure about this!

I can take a half decent photo, sometimes!
