The Magic Mixer

See this mixer? Well, I was watching it closely yesterday as it dutifully carried out its role of kneading my bread. I was totally lost in the spinning and whirring when my brain suddenly jumped into gear.

I’ve not been writing much, if anything, of late. Granted I’ve penned a jaunty poem about Spring for the small [people at Praise and Play but nothing in the way of novel-type stuff.

Perhaps my brain is revving up. The thought of Spring encouraging the growth of new brain cells. I don’t know for sure but losing myself in the mindless kneading of the bread dough gave me an idea for the next step in the children’s adventure that’s been on the back burner for so long I was beginning to wonder if it would be better scraped into the food waste.

This would have been a shame as I rather liked the first chapter. I’ve now decided it like a starter dough which is ripe and ready for moving on.
