BRIGHTLY SPARKLING PAUSE TO REFRESH

Late lunch coinciding with tea time. At home, because I need a break from the multitudes today, having dealt with them and their mega brain death all weekend. Sauteed sausage, peppers, and tofu. With a little curry spicing, and a sploodge of hot sauce. Good healthy food such as is largely unavailable in the suburbs, where one of America's five favourite fast food chains is only a quarter of a mile away Closer than a liquor store, in the same stretch as a popular caffeinated beverage chain with wifi. You can work from home either at the Pizza Bunker OR Joe Five Cups in the same strip mall Both with soft easy listening music.
Heck, you don't have to see your family unless you're asleep.
Or they want a slice of ham and pineapple.

Probably the next step in commercial living is a sleep shack; somewhere that you can take a nap in a comfortable pod with a clean non allergenic seasonal weather appropriate coverlet, soft lighting and people with a credit score and Apple Pay only, no bums, for a nominal fee. The price of a big boy bacon burger with fries, for instance. While your phone recharges.

Obviously air conditioning and ventilation would be necessary. As well as surface cleaning robots, and self-cleaning toilets. When you wake up, go next door for coffee, and then start "working from home" while nowhere near the place. It is filled with your family members anyway, and who wants them around?

Tea time. Real tea. Nothing pumpkin spiced.

An almond sponge cake with variously coloured sections held together with strawberry jam and covered with an outside layer of marzipan. A version flavoured with coffee and walnut paste was invented to celebrate the queen's jubilee in 2022.

As yet, there is no version that tastes of pumpkin spice. Nor should there be. Hellfire and brimstone are too good for the degenerate who creates that. Damned Trump cake.

The alternative, if you don't bake yourself and no Battenberg cake can be found in San Francisco, would be Swedish Princess cake. Which is also very nice.

Also not flavoured with pumpkin spice, because the world outside of Dixie just ain't ready for a Marjorie Taylor Greene cake. Damned dingbat.



Heading out with a pipe soon for a long smoke near the top of the hill.
The air outside is cooling down, it's a little windy.
Still over an hour of daylight left.
