Last night I sat on a friends couch and attempted embroidery. I've seen a fair bit of embroidery in my time and didn't imagine it could be too difficult. As it turns out, I may have overestimated my craft skills, much like the time I stuck my hand to the bench with a gluegun. Embroidery is hard. This revelation got me thinking about that much loved topic - things my nanna can do that I can't. The list as it currently stands is:
- Embroidery
- Sewing
- Write thankyou notes in a timely fashion
- Bake
- Cook well in general
- Throw dinner parties (see above)
- Play cards
- Make beds with hospital corners
- Make small children love her
- Chastise above children and still remain loved
- Magically fix any illness with jelly
- Coordinate her shoes with her outfit
- Make a bonza cup of tea
- Know the right action for any situation
- Remember the names of all her grandchildren and great grandchildren
- Make my pathetic attempts at any of the above seem succesful
