Délicieux

by

Dear Diary,
I seek forgiveness for my sins. Does everyone think Gluten is gluttony? Well, my wardrobe guillotined me! I need to shed and get in shape.
I joined the local duo for a grand transformation for the 3-day plan.
---
Day 1- They were lenient. It was a blending session after the heavy douse of eggs.
---
Day 2- Battered by butter for breakfast. To counter those calories, I ran 27 laps then lost the count!
---
Day 3- Somersaults, in the sweltering Sun! I collapsed and curved!

Results? Flaked, tanned and scorched!

The morning rush beelined for Coffee and 'Croissants'.

    Apologies if you re-read it.
    Accidently it got deleted when the screen froze- a cardiac arrest.

    Since I already digested the older version and couldn't recollect the exact. I wrote this piece.
    Would love to hear if this was still suspense or got flaked too soon!

    I've accidentally deleted things just after writing them
    The coffee and croissants sound like a happy ending that can't come too soon. to me .

    Sorry! I couldn't get this right. The word meter has got my case this time ;-)

    All I can think is this last, suits fine?

    Off the oven, labelled me 'Croissants' at Viennoiserie.

    I have inadvertently deleted embryonic drabbles but have usually found that if I press the go back arrow, I get it back. I can’t help wondering whether all that exercise is good for one though Verity... controversial? maybe! but if croissants are the cure for exhausting oneself, then might there be some middle ground?

    Thanks, Neville. I'll keep the back arrow in mind!

    I can't seem to get this right...

    Brief- It's an autobiography of flour (gluten) converted into a croissant (as per the 3-day Recipe), which I tried to put as a gruesome exercise.
    The laps are the layers in the croissants, and the somersaults and curves are the crescent shape, the Sun's the oven.
    Finally, it discovers that it's transformed as a _Croissant_ at the Cafe/Viennoiserie.

    Wow, well aren’t I a thicko! I must expect more cryptic constructions in your drabbles, Verity. It completely went over my head, but now you’ve pointed it out, it’s terrific! Very clever!

    Shame on me!😕

    Neville, such a shame I circled with words. It should have been a bit more revealing to know what dish it is. Probably, will update it later.

    Yes, just a few deadlines. It will take me a while to get back on regular. Thanks!
