Previously undiscovered talents

What previously dormant talents of yours have been ‘exposed’ by the lockdown?

I’ll start.

Tonight I have discovered that I can, pretty securely, hold a glass of wine between my boobs. 💪

Yesterday I discovered that I can make a decent puff pastry from scratch and today I discovered that I can make a pretty damn good beef wellington.

I have also discovered that I am phenomenally good at procrastination even when I have literally nothing else to do.

How about you?

Today’s discovered talent is eating an entire share bag of doritos to myself in less than 5 minutes.

I am definitely coming out of this quarantine obese and with a drinking problem.

I have developed an amazing talent for demolishing a plate of cheese & biscuits in record time.

I am an expert at watching teenagers play on Fortnite.

@iklboo that is an admirable talent. Kudos to you.

@astropoodle that is a truly admirable talent and one which I am sure many do not have the patience for.

I’d like to say I’ve discovered a talent for drinking gin. But I have to own up to having discovered that talent some time ago :)

soupforbrains · 06/04/2020 19:28

@Susay yes me too! Grin

I’m the best at completely fucking off my exercise and healthy eating routine and putting on a stone in 2 weeks

Hmmm @AgnesNaismith I feel like you might have some competition on that one...

Me for example!

@soupforbrains I'm no good at drinking gin, or indeed any alcohol so I feel the need to work on this, it can only improve my Fortnite viewing skills.

soupforbrains · 06/04/2020 21:00

@astropoodle I think any form of booze consumption coule only improve the fortnite viewing. It would be like a performance enhancing drug!

I discovered a new talent today. I am very good at taking ‘artsy’ photos of daffodils in sunshine.

I've hurt my back and have been prescribed v strong painkillers. I have discovered a heretofore unknown talent for completely drifting into a different universe mid sentence.

I have discovered a talent for getting dh to do a shedload of random jobs round the house that I don't want to do we don't usually have time for.

soupforbrains · 07/04/2020 14:26

I have apparently ruined DS’s life several times in just the last 48 hours so I guess I’ve unveiled a talent for ruining the lives of 12 years olds...
