What I can’t do (well) but can do better.

I can’t sew or toffee. I don’t bake, craft cards, knit or garden.
I’m trying to think what I am good at....

Being a mum, grandma & a friend I think, says she modestly.
☺️

I can’t toffee either, urmstongran!
I can’t knit, sew, or craft anything either.
I love gardening but I’m not good at it.
I must have been a good mum as I have four wonderful children; I have many good friends so they probably think I am one too!
The only talent I think I have is being empathetic; I was good at sitting with very sick people to give carers a break. Is that a talent?
I can’t sing, paint, play a musical instrument. I’d better stop. The list of what I can’t do is endless it seems.

I’m brilliant at everything, except being modest, I’m not so good at being modest........

?

I can’t play an instrument, sing or remember jokes. I too love to garden but I’m rubbish at planning where things should go.
I can knit and sew I think I’m a good Mum and Grandma, and nursing anyone who’s sick. I’m a good navigator if that’s a talent.

Can sew, am a dab hand with a paintbrush - any kind! can bake.
Musical instruments are torture instruments, especially the squeaks and squawks noises that come out of them - demented seagull springs to mind

All the things you can’t do, I can’t do either grandmajet. Nor can I ride a bike and I have no eye/hand coordination I don’t think I could throw a ball any distance to someone. Or kick it.
I’m feeling a bit rubbish!

I make good roast potatoes though. And I’ve a steady hand for applying liquid eyeliner.
Is that a skill?

Definitely a skill Urmstongran. I can’t do it to save my life, which is a bit annoying when my eyelashes are absent due to chemo. A bit of eyeliner would help then!

No domestic skills here either and I hate gardening. I do enjoy cleaning and organising things. I do all the admin at home and run a small voluntary library when Covid allows.
I'm good at sitting on the sofa and reading.

Thank you tanith, you’ve reminded me, I can navigate too. In a car, or on foot. My husband can get lost on our road (well, nearly!), so it’s a good skill to have.

I can’t craft, knit, bake, play a musical instrument, sing or ever keep a houseplant alive. I can grow vegetables, project manage, admin, cook and...nope, that’s it. oh, I’m good at ordering stuff online that doesn’t get sent back!

I can't sew, bake, swim, drive, dance, paint. I used to knit but that was many years ago and probably wouldn't remember how now. I can't cook anything other than basic food - I make a mean roast dinner. I'm a good listener, and I hope empathetic, having been through the mill in my life. My granddaughter tells me I'm a lovely nan. That'll do.

I can’t
Swim, sink like a stone.
Make scones, they end up like stones
Play a musical instrument
Navigate, I say turn left, DH knows to turn right, (even tho I’m so damn sure it’s left) I’m always shocked that I got it wrong again.
Can’t draw to save my life
I have terrible balance due to ear problems, so I don’t ride a bike, I can, but I topple over.
Can’t make small talk, especially with people I don’t know, I just freeze.
However, my new skill is giving injections . Yesssss

?

Not good at anything, but I have been told, my Creme Caramel is second to none .....

I sew ok, do craft stuff ok, DIY not too badly but I wish I could just do one thing really well. Jack of lots of Trades but Master of none.?

Now that’s pretty awesome crazyH!
✅

I’d like to make a good crème caramel, for when we’re allowed visitors, share please CrazyH

But at least you’re good enough ayse. I can’t even leave the starting grid. Oh that reminds me, I can’t change a wheel either. Himself was horrified years ago when I asked him to come and get me. Said I oughtn’t to be driving! Ha.

Thank you sodapop, I too am very good at sitting on the sofa and reading, that’s a relief.
I used to be good at baking but had to give that up when I realised that I was also very good at eating my own baking. Decorating cakes too, the old fashioned way with royal icing.
I think most if not all of you are empathetic and it’s a truly valuable skill.

Urmston thank you. It’s not so good though when you start a project and it doesn’t turn out as planned, quite often. The skill quite often doesn’t quite fit the imagination. I’m sure you must be fine at something.?

Just now, I’m really good at watching all sorts of c**p on ? but not getting round to the really important things I have on my mental list. Never mind, there’s always tomorrow.

Apparently I’m good at disrupting.

why should you change a wheel; that's what you pay RAC/GreenFlag for, or KwikFit if drive-able.
