#SoCS Monkey Puzzle

Stream of Consciousness Saturday #SoCS prompt for this week is ‘puzzle’. Use it any way you’d like.

I used to look at monkey puzzle trees in stranger’s gardens and thought how beautiful they looked. I wanted one. I used to say that when I’d have my own garden, I’d plant a monkey puzzle tree.

I never did. Do you know why? Because foolishly I allowed myself to be influenced by someone else’s opinion—that the monkey puzzle tree is ugly!

I was an awful eejit!

Yes, I could plant one now if I wanted to, but our garden where we live now is quite small. I wonder if there’s such thing as a miniature monkey puzzle tree.

Holy guacamole…..I’ve just discovered that I’ve been spelling miniature wrong all these years. I thought it was minature! Well, now I’m puzzled as to how I didn’t know this before now! Obviously, it’s not a word I’ve used too often (if ever) in my writing because my spell checker would have flagged it. The dunce’s corner for me today!

Cook Like A Boss #SoCS

Who likes cooking? Me! Actually, who likes cooking with their children? Not sure…mmm!

Last week I signed Little Miss Nine up for a five day virtual cookery camp, starting next Monday. Cook Like A Boss. Little Miss Nine can make toast and get herself a bowl of cereal – that’s it! We have made pizzas and buns together and that turned out okay…we managed! This will be different though because I intend to let her do most of the work on her own. Well, that’s the plan!

So, I’ve a feeling my patience will be tested during this. I don’t really like sharing my kitchen with others – except my husband because we kinda work the same way. Also, Little Miss Nine would rather be reading, drawing or writing, so I’m not sure how I’ll keep her motivated for five days. I’ll try my best though

Every morning we will receive an email that will link to an instruction video, which we can cook along to at our own pace. Judging by the list of ingredients, which we have already been sent, it looks like the recipes will be delicious. Of course that depends on the chef, doesn’t it?

I’ll let you know how we get on. With photos!

This week’s prompt is “day/week/month/year.”

All through the pandemic I’ve called on my favourite quote of all time. I bought this little framed quote many years ago; I can’t even remember where. It was at a time when I thought nothing would ever be well again.

“Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday and all is well.”

I treasure this little picture!
