Simply..marvelling....

....at the fact that I can do Difficult Su Dokus and without writing in little numbers!

You will notice I have given myself a star.

And, ta-dah, I can even do Fiendish!

If you knew how innumerate I have always been, you would be impressed too. Six year old Ross wanted to know how to do them, so naturally I had to learn.

And I got hooked!

I want to ask you..you probably often marvel at things your children or your friends can do, but are you marvelling at any of your own achievements?

Do share..

Golly, I am more than impressed. How on earth do you do it without writing on the extra little numbers? I have to do it even on the easy ones. I am still surprised that I can cook proper meals like roast chicken and all the trimmings, and that I can have friends to stay for the weekend and manage to feed and look after them all like a proper grown up!!

Well it took me years - Ross is now 13. Cooking proper meals and being a good hostess are great skills to have - brava!

You go girl! Maybe you should enter one of those Sudoku competitions just for fun!

I'm not sure numeracy is the most critical skill here -- it seems like it is probably more logic and reasoning.

I'm too slow! You are right about numeracy but when I started I was at the level of saying 'OK this is a one....' It has taught me patience. But Alison - what about you?

Figures are like a foreign country to me - my brain just doesn't work that way - but anything to do with words like a crossword and I'm on fire.

Starting at the level of a 6 year old was useful and retrained my brain I think. It is clear from your blog that you have a way with words!

That is so funny - my mom is terrible with numbers and yet great at these number games, Sudoku and another kind I have trouble with, yet I am supposed to be the one who is good at maths in this family!! She also turned out to be a great saver once she was on her own - despite not being sure how many zeros she needs to put on things, it just never interested her… ;o

Sudoku I can't do, but a HARD crossword and a pen. . . ! Also, I'm an excellent singer.
That's it, my list of accomplishments.
Merriest of Christmases!
