Cast Cookies

For a Sunday it was pretty busy, but I still found time for my usual ritual of blip, tea and Classic FM.

Whilst I am all for spontaneity and improvisation, there is some comfort to be found in little routines like this. I’ve added a Sunday morning shave to the list too for good measure.

After fixin’ up/lookin’ sharp it was off to town once more for some supplies (including some butter for the main), a little more Christmas shopping (I think I’m down to just two presents now) and of course, a hot chocolate to finish.

Kakaw occasionally has a male barista on and whilst he is very nice, his hot chocolate is no where near as good as his female counterpart’s - I do know her name now, but she requested that it not be shared on social media, which is fair enough really. It was the perfect thing to sup on as I walked home, bags in hand and feeling pretty good about the world.

In fact, so positive was I feeling that I had decided I would rise to the bait cast by my fellow cast members who had questioned the validity of The Youngest’s bold claim that I made the best cookies in the world. I would never make such a claim myself, but thought I would set to work and let them have a taste of what she was talking about.

It was a long rehearsal - first one where all of us had gone off book - and whether it was that or not, I don’t know, but there were no cookies left at the end of it!

I'm calling it a win.
