Do you have a special 'talent'?

I learn languages very easily, but my best talent is imitating a pigeon and a road drill!

I used to be able to make almost anything and did costumes and props, before my stroke robbed me of the use of one hand - now I write, to create.
I cook wonderful deserts, but leave the mundane dinners to my other half, now.

I have quite a lot of interests outside of the home but a friend remarked to me the other day that I don't have any 'home hobbies', she was right, I don't!

I am a good cake maker & decorator. I did it for a living when my children went to school & taught it at Adult Education
(remember those classes- you could learn practically anything!) I did mainly wedding cakes but novelty children's cakes were a very good money maker too.
I remember my sons 5th birthday when he had asked for a dinosaur cake. I made 5 dinosaurs models using pictures from his books. It took hours!!
I was really pleased with it. He came downstairs on the morning of his birthday & said - 'Oh Mummy can't they be fighting?' He very nearly didn't make 6!!

Same as Oopsadaisy1,I can spot a bulls...er in seconds
And i am pretty good at telling people who put others down to be honest and tell them instead of telling me.
My grandfather`s words were,"if you can`t say anything nice,say nothing at all".

I can sing well enough to have taken part in most major choral works, often with major orchestras. Too old now, though.

I have written a lot of poetry, some of which was published when I was very young. I can’t do that anymore, either.

I would love to be able to draw, but I’m hopeless.

I am hopelessly impractical, so I can’t sew or cook beyond the essentials, and dislike every moment of doing such things.

When I was was at primary school many years ago our headmaster said that every person has a special talent. I remember him saying that we often think of a talent as being someone who excels in sport or who has a beautiful voice etc. However, he went on to say that being kind to people and animals, helping someone who is upset in the playground is also a special talent. I have never forgotten his words and it really made me feel good about myself. I think other children in the school felt the same.

I dont think I’m very good at anything but sometimes people surprise me with compliments.

Im still looking for my special talent ?. I’ll have a go at anything and everything but still haven’t found anything I excel at.??

I think I must be a good listener because everyone I meet (even people I don’t know) offload all their problems on me - even people I don’t know. I feel like an unpaid counsellor.

I’m very good at biting my tongue, until I explode not very often but it’s been known to happen fairly spectacularly!

Nope!

I’m another Jack of all trades. I can bake, draw and paint, knit a bit, sew a little, make cards and other various crafty things but I’m not brilliant at any of them.

Apparently I’m an expert tidy upper. My DoL told my son I’m like Mary Poppins - spit spot and their house is mess free.

Cleaning

I am very good at countdown conundrums

I'm an extremely good judge of character.

I'm good at drawing; but don't do it enough. I could have been brilliant.

I have lovely handwriting.

I'm excellent at retaining fat.

Listening.

Cooking and technology.

Am also very good at finishing my DH's sentences ! Sometimes I start them as well!

My talent is sleeping- any time any place.

I do beautiful crochet. At my knit and natter group I'm regarded as the expert in all things hooked.
I make a wonderful pavlova. I get requests for them for family celebrations and Christmas.
I still have a lovely singing voice although I'm not the soprano that I used to be.

Oh I forgot, i'm very good at mending staues!

We had a crib with adult size figures at the front door of our school and one Christmas, a colleague managed to knock the head off Mary, the hand off St Joseph and the head off the donkey. As she ran by, her handbag caught them and they fell on the tiled corridor. .....?

I managed to repair them and then painted them, using acrylic paints. They were as good as new.
I did have a problem when I went looking for flesh coloured paints. the gentleman in the shop thought I was mad, when I said I was repairing a statue and St Joseph had dark skin.

I am good repairing broken ornaments wood stains etc anything damaged making it look good again. I taught myself to restring pearls which is tedious but I enjoyed the challenge.

I am extremely adept at procrastination

Oh me too. I’m good at putting myself down as well.

I can whistle by rolling my tongue! Not very ladylike to whistle with your tongue sticking out.

I was once told that my special talent was lowering the tone in my work staffroom! I'm still proud of that many years later.
