It's just 6 am, and her stomach growls. She ignores it, wanting to have a little more sleep, but the headache starts, which means she's very hungry. Aah, she mumbles and lazily gets out of bed, wipes her eyes, stretches her arms, then groggily proceeds to the kitchen.

She plugs the electric kettle, opens the fridge, takes out one twisted donut and one cloud bread. She quickly reheats them and sits at the table, ready to pacify her complaining tummy. But then she notices something on the plate and decides to play with it.

She takes a chunk of the cloud bread and enjoys it, playing with the shadows in between bites.

Look, a melting marshmallow on a stick!

She cuts the twisted donut, and some more shadows show up.

Aha! That's fun!

But she has to eat first! Her Milo is starting to get cold. She finishes the entire donut, pauses to wipe the messy chocolate on her plate, then she starts playing again.

Wait, that looks like a bird!

alt


It does look like a tail-less wee bird, perched on a fork. LOL!

alt


She gives the fork a tilt, and a shrimp-like scary thing shows up.

She decides to check with Google Lens, and to her surprise, this is what it says:

Trophy Wife... interesting! she mumbles. She didn't know such an artwork existed. She will check on that in a little while, because she wants to play some more.

She tilts the fork again, and a laughing worm or something appears, LOL!

alt


What would you say to this, Mr GL, she asks, only to laugh hard at what it says. Alexandra Andrade? Whoa! She honestly doesn't see a person in that image.

A shadow of a boxing glove on a hand, maybe?

alt


Well, at least it identified what I called a bird-like shadow correctly. It says:

Shadow of a fork holding a piece of food✅, likely a meatball or a similar roundish item (beep!)❌, cast onto a white surface, possibly a place✅ Bingo!

Okay, that's enough fun for the day. This is, of course, my participation in the Show Me A Shadow initiative by Melinda.

Happy new week!
