I’ve been invited to a tea party. That’s nice – or it would be if I hadn’t been asked to bake and take some scones.
I’ve found two recipes, do I make them this way or that way? This way looks the simplest.
What a sticky mess!
Plan B. I’ll go back and try the other way.
No, that’s worse! I’m due there soon!
Plan C. Buy some ready made ones on the way there.
This supermarket’s huge. Are they this way or that way?
Look, there they are – or they were, they’ve only sold out.
Now what?
Plan D…..

I hope plan D works out okay. Good story, Keith. Some days are like that for real. Well done.
Thanks, Suzette, don’t I know it!
Good workarounds
Thanks, Neil!
Plan A should have been: try the recipes a few days before. 😉 I hope you make it to the party. That signpost isn’t very helpful.
Good point, Christine!
The signpost stops at plan D so I hope it works.
I can only hope!

I had to Google that – a fun song, but I’ll be in Scotland before them!
Keith, I’m hoping Plan D is “bring this story,” because you’ve already given me a laugh and it requires no baking!
Much love,
David
That pleases me, thank you, David!
Oh my! What a problem 😅😂
Sure is! Thanks, Sadje.
You’re welcome
I’m really interested in finding out what Plan D is, given the abysmal failure of the first three.
You and me too!
Don’t go ask Alice! Poor girl’s confused enough!
I won’t! Cheers, Nancy.
I vote for bringing them as is and give them a new name. When someone says these are not scones, you say of course not. They are called whatever name you give them.
Great, I wish I’d thought of that!
Love it! The twists and turns wrapped around the photo prompt —perfect.
Nice brightening of the image, Keith. Isn’t that the way of things, decide, repeat ad nauseum. Poor guy can’t win for losing.
Isn’t it just! Thanks, Lisa.
You’re very welcome.
No scones! Quelle catastrophe! As they’re a concept too far here in my Mediterranean paradise, I tend to overindulge during August, so I feel your party-going pain.
Can Rosey not point you in the right direction? (Snigger)
You HAVE to be joking! This would be nothing compared to the mess she’d make of it!
And the plans never end 😀
Oh dear, Keith. He’s in a mell of a hess. I wonder what plan D could be.
Shalom,
Rochelle
I can’t imagine!
Thanks, Rochelle,
how lovely! if they ask what you brought, just tell them, “i brought myself.” 😂

Oh my, quite the dilemma. Scones are difficult to make. I’ve given up. Store-bought is fine. They’re for hubby anyway.
I love this, Keith. A perfect interpretation of the prompt. Bravo … Isadora 😎
A tad last minute, eh? Scones are easy-peasy to make! Course, with the right recipe…
I did laugh. I think the other invents got to the supermarket first.
Dear Keith,
My brain stopped working after plan C. I hope there’s another store nearby.
Surabhi
Another store, I hope. Thanks for the fun story.
Oops, that’s a bit of a problem. Hmm, maybe some cake in the next aisle?
I love it!
The story matches well with the image and the concept of a mad hatters mind.
Love this! It sounds like many of my days. Now, I want a scone but there’s no where to buy any here. Guess I’ll have to try to make some. The key word is “try.” 🙂
Scones, you say? You’re talking my language! Irish scones are best…followed by lemonade and cream scones ( a Kiwi/Aussie classic)
I hope plan D plays out well!! Fun story!
I felt so seen reading this! Good one.
