What a rollercoaster ride we all experienced last week and that does not even include events on the other side of our world. Two of our most important sporting events were held according to our new Covid World and OMG it was ……….different.
These were followed by The Junior Master Chef Semi Finals last night. The cooks are aged between 9 and 14 years and lets just say that they decimate my confidence in the kitchen. Grand Final tonight so I’m expecting tears. That’s me – not the contestants.
Take these cooks for example :
One sweet little thing in pigtails cooked a pumpkin tart with a parsnip flavoured ice-cream. Who eats parsnip flavoured ice cream? Why would you even think of such a flavour? I don’t get it. My favourite contestant, a lad aged 10 whose favourite snack is Pate and Blue Vein Cheese has since been eliminated, though I see he is now giving online cooking classes…..OMG
On a more personal level last week I experienced a couple of Epic Fails.
My attempt at making clay wind chimes, without a lie, almost burnt the house down. Who was the imbecile that declared that creating home made gifts was a positive mindfulness experience ? Unless mindfulness includes a heap of expletives…..
And I had a death in the family. My favourite Rosemary bush carked it, requiring a massive effort for its removal. There’s more to the story including sewerage pipes, Grevillea trees, and several trips to the Dump but you get the gist.
The books by my bedside grew yet again. I’m drowning in them, I tell you.
And then there was this. Bless my cotton pickin’ socks.
Brizzy Mays Books and Bruschetta 
So much to live here…except the almost burning down things during craft time…

Sometimes a Denis-Leary-worthy tirade of expletives is … soul cleansing. Hopefully little ears didn’t pick it up. And lastly, any effort to cook is a welcomed one – even if it ends poorly. Keep cooking!

Sculpy clay is hard to work with in my opinion! So glad the house is still standing. But that last photo is marvelous!!

I thought that with retirement automatically came a calmness that meant craft work was an automatic given. Even considered learning how to knit. WRONG!
Considering I was never the typical maternal type either ( as a single parent I was very much the disciplinarian ) I find myself very gushy over this little one and look forward to a huggle in coming months. I’m going to make an excellent MeeMaw !
Enjoy your day, Muri.
