100 words!

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…..

Prod Froggie to visit the squares!

    I hope plan D works out okay. Good story, Keith. Some days are like that for real. Well done.

    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.

    The signpost stops at plan D so I hope it works.

    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
