    Deal the cards out into a circle of 12 piles of 4 cards like the face of a clock.

    Put the remaining 4 in the centre.

    Pick up the card in the centre and put it face up under the corresponding clock position. Jack - Queen - King are 11 - 12 - centre.

    Pick up the card in that pile and so on and so forth

    Run - my brain won’t let me do it. I can run if playing a sport like tennis or football, or run after my kids, but ask me to just run and I just can’t.

    Running fast is just leaning forward without falling on your snot.

    Driving - it's not exactly simple to learn, but once you learn its like riding a bike & becomes second nature. But Jesus I hate driving.

    Directions - hopeless with directions. Bad enough me trying to figure out how to get to where I've to go, but then to try find my way back, not a chance. Can't remember a single thing I've passed before. so its a whole new stressful task trying to find my way back.

    I've a smart TV about 2 years now. Keep forgetting that I have all the apps on the TV & I still use my phone to cast everything. There's no need for the chromecast in the TV but I keep forgetting to take it out

    Soon to enter my seventh decade and can I explain what the mornings do when the clocks go back or forward ??

    Can I heck!!

    Spring forward, fall back- this helps me remember. But I still have to work it out by saying “so what was 7am is now only 6am so I get an extra hour in bed” etc.

    Your dog does a crap outside, you pick it up with your poop bag and eventually put it in the bin. You don’t leave the bag there. It’s plastic. It’s going nowhere!

    I’ll never understand what’s going through their heads........

    How many days are in each month. Bar 28 for February, I have no idea about the rest. As in, some have 31 some have 30 etc....

    Just something I must have missed out learning when young.

    What are
    things that are generally seen as simple by others that you struggle with?

    For example It takes me ages to open bin liners. Just this morning it must have taken me at least 15 minutes to manage to open a black bag when changing the rubbish. It feels like I've no grip on my fingers, I can't click my fingers so I've generally put my inability to perform a simple task down to this but it can be quite embarrassing when asking people in work to open up a bag for me.

    I'm not a ciotog but I can't hold a fork in my left hand. I have to use the left hand for the knife and the right for the fork.
    If I'm cutting or buttering etc, I use my right hand to use the knife.
    Weird, huh.

    I'm the same with east and west.
    I always have to remind myself that Into the West was filmed in Galway and Galway is to the left as we look at the Irish map!

    Ziploc bags. Not the fancy ones with the zip on them but the ones where you have to seal at the top. The never work for me.
