Making the morning bread

Yesterday The Owner forgot to get a new loaf of bread out of the freezer. Now I did warn you he was in a funny frame of mind. So instead of going out and getting one in from the freezer in the shed like any normal and sane person would have done, he announces that he has all the ingredients and he will get up early and make himself a loaf of bread for his breakfast 'bread and marmalade'.

I just know this is going to end in tears! Half past four he comes crashing down the stairs this morning. Only crashing because he wouldn't turn the light on because "its spring and the nights are drawing out and we shouldn't need them on". I watched him, bemused, for a while as big bowls and pots and scales and stuff came out of the cupboard, before I headed for my comfy cushion by the fire. There was still a little warmth left in it and it would probably be safest in there. Why he was going to all that trouble escapes me as he has a perfectly good breadmaker on the worktop gathering dust. My curiosity got the better of me after an hour and I wandered out to see what he was doing. I was a little taken aback at first, well it was about the same shape as The Owner, except his normally greying hair was now white with flour. For that matter so was the floor, cupboards, stove, sink and even some up on the lights on the ceiling! I left quickly before it got me as well and returned to my cushion. I was awoken next by the smell of burning wafting through the cottage and noted a blue tinge to the air coming from the kitchen. So all was going well then! First batch failed he drags the breadmaker out from under the layers of dust topped off with a layer of flour which matched the rest of the kitchen. Quite why he doesn't go and just get a loaf out of the freezer I am not sure. It is now ten o-clock and the bread maker has long since finished and he is still asleep on the sofa! I was sure he had an important meeting first thing this morning, I wonder if I should wake him? Let me have another snooze first whilst I decide how I should do it.
