Scones & robots

I am opening today at work. It's my first time opening on my own so I couldn't sleep very well, so finally at 5:30 I got up and made scones.

Aside from the occasional early morning, work is going pretty well. (And actually, the morning shifts are nice, because then I have the rest of the day free.) I can make most of the drinks now (although I'm still working on how to pour the foam for the cappuccino so it mixes with the espresso instead of sitting on top like a frothy island), and I can usually make the cash register do my bidding, although I'm still a little perplexed as to how to ring up cakes.

Otherwise, I've been trucking away on the robot story, which is slowly, very slowly growing. I keep cycling back to revise things, which means the draft will be reasonably clean when there is a draft, but it also makes it slow going. It's nicer when it just comes forth like a stream, but alas, writing can't always be like that.

Hats!

And a link, because it made me smile: The hats of Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden.

Were I a monarch, I like to think that I too would enliven state occasions with bizarre and delightful hats. Preferably with antlers.

ETA: I have been informed that these are photoshop. D: D: D: Well then, the place for monarch with the most awesomest hats is still wide open! Get on it, monarchs of the world!
