I really, really, *really* wish I could say at this point that I can play the piano and it doesn't sound as though the cats were running across it. There is a talent I wish I had but for the patience of practising. When you are a child there is always much more interesting things to do than sit doing plinky plonky scales on the piano. Having said that then I am sorry that the piano my grandfather gave to my mother was sold.
On to the subject at hand though. What talent do I possess?
I'm quite good at arty things, I'm slowly getting back into the habit of sketching and painting. There is always the crafty side of sewing things, my cross-stitch. I also write, but not very well, although the Open University course I did showed that I wasn't all that bad at poetry - who'd a thunk it!
What I'm really trying to get here is that I have a distinct lack of talent. I can do things, I can do things well but nothing stands out. Like everything else I am running on mediocre here. It's just the way I was brought up: don't shine, don't show-off, don't think you are better than anything. I love that the Hobbits aren't like that though and they have talent by the bucket-load!
