Word of the week - Can't. I can run a Marathon ... but I can't ...

... squeeze a tube of face cream so I've had to buy it in a pump. It actually works out cheaper.

... open the medication I need for my hiatus hernia caused by the training for the marathon, so I've bought sachets which I can only open with a pair of scissors. It does cost a lot more but I can't carry the large bottle with me anyway.

... I struggle to open the cover on the milk, the lid on new jars, use a tin opener, open these packets that say 'tear here' do a necklace up, put the back of an earring on, write for any length of time.


... but I can run a marathon. I just don't know how helpful that is around the home.

This week I discovered I also can't make a trifle.

My custard wouldn't set. I went ahead and made the dream topping and took it to work in a jug and drove with it to work and put it in the fridge and used it as an example of 'when things go wrong'

It was enjoyed by all, it was just a little runny.
