Jack of all trades, master of none

Share five things you’re good at.

This is a tough one to answer, I could list things like poetry, but that would be showing off, so I’m thinking outside the box.

  • Archery I have been shooting on and off (mainly off recently) since 2008 when I did a beginner’s course for fun. Since then I’ve shot in club comps and joined the uk chapter of the Sons Of Archery.
  • Chess. I started learning chess earlier in the year instead of my regular German course. Since then I’ve found I’ve a nack for it and my ELO is between 8-900 which after three months isn’t too shabby.
  • Photography. It’s something I’ve always loved to do and it appears that I have an eye for it. I couldn’t tell you how to set up a shot ie aperture, exposure etc, I’m just an able to get the shot.
  • Making the perfect cup of tea for Mrs Bob, even though I don’t drink it myself and never have.
  • Back rub is another talent I apparently have according to Mrs Bob I’ll take her word for it

I’m sure somethings on the list aren’t exactly talents but who’s counting
