I've got no sense of direction, never drive anywhere I don't know............ I'd never be seen again if I did!

I don't recognize cars by make or model, I have to go up to a car and read the name on it............ even my own.

Well, how did that suddenly spring to life again? Suzanne - I actually replied to you on the night but must have forgotten to press the enter button.

Yes, you can certainly tell us what you're good at but don't exaggerate..

My thanks to all who have replied.

I'm all the better for seeing your lovely post Elizabeth.

Happy days

Dear Harry

Hello

Hope you are okay and doing well.

I am absolutely hopeless at..........cooking! :-S

There was a TV comedy series in the 1980's called "Butterflies" with Wendy Craig as the mother whose cooking was terrible.

In one scene, she said to her son who gawped at the cooking pot
" Well, help it then" and he proceeded to scrape the food out to eat!

I simply was not programmed to be a good cook which is in contrast to my other female family who are very good cooks.

Oh well. never mind. :-D

Lovely post, Harry.

Take gentle care all
Very best wishes
EOS
