I can garden, do housework, write, tell stories, use my imagination, sing, drive a car, grow pawpaws, communicate with others, stick to a timetable, help my grandkids, remember birthdays, and join in with the successes of others.

But there is one thing that I am totally and utterly hopeless and that is“Do it yourself” tasks.

I am utterly useless when it comes to construction, maintaining a car engine, building furniture, plumbing tasks, putting in irrigation systems, fixing electrics, assembling purchased appliances – and the list goes on.

Do it yourself, I am hopeless and lost on this front. No DIY task is too big because they are all too big.
