Tired tears and tantrums, not just The Monkeys.
Have to turn this week around…. turn it upside down.
Find the giggles, the chuckles, the smiles again.
Find that bubble of inspiration…
*****
Buy green stripy tomatoes from farmers markets.
Make a mermaid bread.
Hear Little Monkey run up the hall way…he ran.
Find op-shop sunglasses that scream Eurovision.
Watch planets align themselves at 5am skies.
Crochet in park while The Monkeys deal with swashbuckling pirates, crocodiles and marooned mamas on islands of balls of wool.
…week happily turned upside down.

That bread! of course as a baker, I’m thinking of was that rising like challah will and she was having to adjust as she went? Or maybe that’s just me…

I used an olive oil bread dough for this one. It’s really versatile in what ever shape I put it into, it seems happy to be there, (which makes things much easier!) So no adjusting to the little mermaid. If I had used sourdough however, I’m sure I would have fiddling the whole time.

That mermaid bread is a true work of art – I am so impressed! That would be a great thing for a party (kids or adults!).
I love your attitude as well – determined to turn your week around rather than just wallowing in misery (as I would be more inclined to do…that or snap at people). Good on ‘ya!
