Something others do and make it look easy but you cant get the hang of it.

For me its cross word puzzles never finished one i have tried but it goes in the bin.
Sudoku what a waste of time.
Home made custard cant make it at all even reading the how to make it still fuck it up somehow.
Pancakes dont get me started i just have to buy them.

Handstands and cartwheels
Catching or throwing a ball
Tying my shoelaces
Swimming the crawl
Maths

But I can make flat pack furniture and follow a sewing pattern, so I’m not a total doofus. I also make good poached eggs.

Hair and make up. I make an effort as I don't want to look a scruff all the time but I can only achieve at a VERY basic level.

Parenthood. I adore them and they survive and thrive, but it's definitely more luck than judgement.

Skiing. It's just dangerous for some of us.

Self assembly furniture if on my own
