Toast

I was relieved it was a quiet day. I spent two hours during the night waiting for the puppy to wake up and whine. While I waited I worried about the concert suppers tomorrow night and the homemade lasagne I'm meant to be offering to 18 complete strangers.
Then Jessie did wake and whine and I spent 20 minutes in the garden.
Today is election day and the people chose stuff not on the menu.
The first wanted two slices of toast with butter and jam. To take away. That opened a floodgate. The next bloke asked if we could do scrambled eggs on toast. Nancie raised her eyebrows, but complied.
Not a single mocha, hot chocolate, latte or cappuccino.
Strangest of all not a single slice of chocolate cake.
What's happened to the world?
