What will this day have to offer ?

Tuesday a.m., shiny and clean like a new pin having been for an early morning dip and a doze of steam - however still aching a bit from pulled muscles after my near miss yesterday.
Monday - up as usual with the larks - but did not get away till 6.45 a.m. - heading up the back street on the motorbike and turned the tight left corner at the top when "gadgy" , one of the neighbours is coming in fairly fast in a Ford pick up truck - blocking the whole road. So with nowhere to go I had to slam on the brakes, and skidded into the fence which stopped me from falling over and the bike on top - but "Gadgy man" did not even bother his puff. no harm done other than a couple of pulled muscles as aforementioned. BUT being no spring chicken I feel the aches for a bit longer these days, even last weeks knock is still giving a bit of bother.

Into town, helped young Raphael with all the rubbish bags, Monday being a bad day - and got the place sorted in time before a group , just off the plane from Dublin arrived for breakfast. We seem to get quite a few who come in off that flight and cannot get access to their hotels till after lunch time. The blokes were very broad spoken so it was hard to understand them - as they seemed to just growl.
The morning was steady so i was kept out of mischief , assisted eventually by Sir Christopher and then young RGB himself. Claire attempted to assault me with George the Sea bass who is being trialed for the new menu which is just about ready to be launched.
We have even managed to get the advertising posters up and out for the next wine tasting session , Thursday 25th June and South African wines this time.

Tramworks were a lot quieter than usual so we did get the doors open which makes a big difference, and had two or three couples sat on the balcony taking in a few rays.

Home fairly quickly and managed a swim while the pool was quiet - then it was back to work in the house, paperwork, despite the fact that the sun was shining.

Sparky Mark made it back safely after his trip to Cork, locked up in a caravan with four girls for a week - what a thought, I just hope he refrained from passing wind as he did when with us at Haggerston . Seemed to have had a great time, did lots of walking in the hills over there, scenery was lovely, and even brought Mrs B a leprechaun which he found crossing the road.

I believe the upside down folks are doing OK , and passing thoughts, just had a Text from Michelle C with a new phone number - cheers.

Need to bash on now - lots to do.
