It's Acapella Time!

Gerald Nachman
Welcome to my Monday Motivation 🍰
No Wobbly Work Wheel 🎡 for me this week.
Heardle time...
Heardle 60s:
My son's answers:
Breakfast and Brew Time.
Dressed.
Gives hubby a sloppy wet one 😘 before he goes to work.
Now for a little ride myself.
I gets the newspaper on the way of dropping off son at his job.
The way I went home, I forgot there was traffic lights.....😶
Back home.
Puts on the coffee machine.
Tidies up the living room after the weekend's fun.
Coffee time.
Takes 3 sips and the electric goes off!
No radio, no lights, nothing.
I goes outside and someone from one of the factories, asks if my power has gone off.
"Yes."I reply.
Then I said,"At least I can some acapella singing now!" 
At least I don't need the electric to roll out some fondant!
I get it all warmed up,
Then the electric comes back on....
Singing along time!
Covered the cake with the fondant.
On goes the red icing,
&
Red melted chocolate,
&
Sprinkles
Done!
Here is the cake finished. 
Back in the fridge it goes.
Light lunch.
Then I write two blog posts.
(Inbetween blogging, I put the joint in the oven for tea later)
Once I have finished the two blog posts.
Hubby comes home.
He has a sloppy wet one 💋
