I am agog
I am also alert - Britain definitely needs lerts.....That's good to know jay hay-char. This country needs more "GOGS"
Blimey!! talk about multi talented. I'll send my holed socks to you then for darning instead of throwing them away.@cazza54 - Carol those drawings are stunning!
I currently have an amazing talent for being idle, dropping things, and teaching my dogs to sneeze on command.
I have a small talent as a needleworker (and used to create my own designs to stitch), and as a crafter and I particularly enjoy creating my own 3D and kinetic papercraft items (though not always from my own designs! ) Crafting runs in the family, my aunt was a skilled needlewoman, my sister a talented candle maker, and her daughter is a very talented jeweller.
And while i was a working I discovered I had a small talent for (mainly database) programming, and "web programming" which also became a hobby for several years.

If you'd have combined your trumpet with your cookery basket, you could have made a "crumpet". That would have made it lighter.Well here goes I used to play a trumpet at school , had to carry the thing about 3 miles with cookery basket and bag with books in ,,,,,
Couldn't really cook very well....
Needle work no good either , in fact I was not a good at school person couldn't wait to leave ...
And there was not enough breath left to blow the trumpet after the three mile walk .. Had no money for the school bus
Still have it today in my loft ...parents paid for a couple of years by instalments ...not enough puff to get a note now ...better give it back to them ...
So many hidden talents ...mine is a bit in the past now though ...
Just to get back on track before we're shouted at for derailing. I can play Dixie through a nose flute.
Wish I could - I'm currently bottom of the league in the sleep stakes...I can sleep for England!
But instead of "blowing his own trumpet" you are blowing it for him - metaphorically of courseI used to play the recorder and violin (badly) when I was but a young girl. But my son plays the trumpet.
Of course it does - I'm sure it takes a lot of skill.......That's me, too . I had an ancestor in Victorian times who was a celebrated viola player and who ended up becoming the second wife of Sir Charles Hallé (of orchestra fame). I played the trumpet (badly) when I was young and tried to learn guitar but couldn't stick with it. The music gene has obviously skipped a generation, because my son is an excellent drummer (Grade 8, with distinction) so I'm waiting for him to join a mega-successful band so that he can support his ageing and idle parents in their dotage
I sail, and I'm quite a competent helmsman but I'm not sure that counts as a talent....
That's an amazing talent - so lifelikeOne of my talents is drawing. I use graphite and colored pencils to create portraits of people and animals. I have recently begun a small website showing some of my drawings. If you fancy a peep you can check it out here... www.carolleatherportraits.com.
