I badly need a factotum. I wonder whether a male or female factotum would be better.

Andrew said...

I do know what a cronut is, but I've never eaten one.

David M. Gascoigne, said...

The first job I ever had was as general factotum in the offices of a large bakery. The job was a total bore, relieved only by the delicious cronuts served with morning coffee.

Hi Sandra - David's got it right ... and I just looked it up - it goes back as far as 1591 ... when Robert Greene (dramatist) admonishes Shakespeare amongst others ... I now need some nourishment - where's the cronut? Cheers Hilary

Donna said...

I wasn't thinking about donuts...I wasn't...at all...until Now...Lol
hugs

Jamie Ghione said...

Wow, never heard of a cronut.

Jeanie said...

I had heard of a cronut but never had one!

CJ Kennedy said...

Easier to say chief, cook, and bottle washer. Hmm, not sure about the cronut. Donuts, yes. Croissants, yes. Enjoy your day

Birgit said...

I had no idea about the donut/ croissant cross. My hubby would say he is a Factotum to the house, critters and me. He can really play up the Miss Pitty Pat. ( From Gone with thr Wind)

Sandra Cox said...

Good job on knowing cronut, Andrew. I could use a factotum too. Either male or female;)

Sandra Cox said...

Another good one, David. A pastry could certainly relieve my boredom.

D.L. Finn said...

I believe I'm a factotum to my pets too. I would love a cronus! Xo

Sandra Cox said...

That's fascinating, Hils! Thanks for sharing. Cheers,

Sandra Cox said...

LOL. Sure, Donna....Wink. Wink.

Sandra Cox said...

Jamie, I've heard of them, but I don't think I've ever had one.

Sandra Cox said...

Same here, Jeanie.

Sandra Cox said...

CJ, True that. I'd like to at least try a cronut:)

Sandra Cox said...

Birgit, Nice that you have your own factotum:)

Sandra Cox said...

Denise, You are indeed and I'm with you on the cronut:)

Christine said...

I knew cronut

J.P. Alexander said...

No lo sabía. Te mando un beso.

Damyanti Biswas said...

I've never tried a cronut. It's never really appealed to me -- but crookies on the other hand...

Sandra Cox said...

Good job on knowing that, Christine.

Sandra Cox said...

Thanks. Sending you a hug, J.P.

Sandra Cox said...

Damy, Ooh, that sounds good too:)
