Sharing My World 2016 Week 19
Here is my post for Cee’s Share Your World.
You win a pet monkey but this isn’t just any old monkey. It can do one trick for you whenever you want from getting a pop out of the fridge to washing your hair. What would be the trick?
Ooh, ohh, a helper monkey! Here he is, ready for action.
Ready for action
I think maybe he should be tasked to the job of dusting, as this is the (negative) imprint he made on the shelf when I removed him for his photo op.
Monkey imprint
Or possibly he should be tasked to cooking after last week’s little accident. Note to self: never put eggs on to boil and then go off to play Fallout 4 on the PS4. Because after 3 hours they explode.
Oops
What caring thing are you going to do for yourself today?
Nothing,really. Just a normal Sunday.
What colour do you feel most comfortable wearing?
Blue. And while it’s not really a colour, rather the lack thereof, black. Very occasionally I’ll wear something with a splash of some other colour on it, usually if it’s a lovely sunny day.
Complete this sentence: When I travel I love to…
… come home :-). It’s nice sometimes to visit somewhere new but it’s always nice to come home.
Speak to me - I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Woohoo!

Interesting post, That sure was a long time to boil eggs.
Thanks for the warning, I will try not to do that.
Happy days writing.

Yeah, it’s best not to boil eggs for longer than 2 hours for sure 🙂

When the egg blew up, I actually pulled my gun and spun around thinking my settlement was under attack. Then I realised it had happened in “The Real World”.

The monkey might be good at dusting but he looks a bit flammable for cooking. Eggs also don’t do well in the microwave. Good answers, Ali. Well done. 🙂 — Suzanne

No, I can imagine they’d blow up in the microwave. That sounds like fun!
I’d never try to cook my monkey.

It’s Sunday. I wasn’t going to do anything either until I saw that dusty shelf of yours. That sent me off to dust the bathroom shelves. I was going to do the bookshelves, but that’s just too big of a task for a day off
Cute monkey.

Oops, sorry about that! You should do what I do and pretend you haven’t seen the dust.
He’s a PG Tips monkey (that’s a brand of tea). I don’t drink tea, but I bought a pack just so I could get the free monkey 🙂

I wonder if Swiffer has thought about incorporating monkey butt technology into its dusters?
The military may want to look into your egg bomb invention as well…

There’s no place like home, really. 🙂 And, yeah, I love both opposing color effects we see in the visible spectrum,too– the absence all colors (black) and the presence of all of them (white).
P.S. Helper monkeys (if they ever exist),better run and hide from you. Lol!

Love the writing! It was nice of you to let us in on the egg fiasco. You could always velcro the helper monkey’s hands and then keep him around your neck while cleaning the house. Quite handy, I’m sure.

It was a bit of a fiasco 🙂
It might be fun to have a monkey velcroed around my neck while cleaning. He could give me tips! Or PG tips (since he’s the PG Tips monkey) ha ha.

I think your monkey really needs to take you in hand. Exploding eggs just aren’t on. Yes, letting his do the cooking is a great idea. Just pretend you can’t see the dust. And I have to agree with you about travelling. Coming home afterwards is just so nice.

Exploding eggs would never have happened had the monkey been in charge.
