Hello 😊

How are you and the clan? Are you growing lots in your courtyard? 🌿

I was working yesterday in The Kingdom of Andy Burnham. Was a bit of a farce really. Start time was an hour before the building actually opened, so sat around for an hour in a hotel lobby, turned up an hour later and tried again.

Again, no brief, no details, so we turned up, sold the product, made over £2k on extra (on the day) sales, packed up, then got verbal abuse by 'people' who never ever offer to help us out, and who poach our staff when they get busy, when we had the nerve to leave on time, after we had finished, and hauled all our kit downstairs, left it in the delivery bay, for the lorry - which literally pulled up as we walked out of the venue doors. We even said hello to the drivers.

I am NOT employed to load the van. That is what the 2 van drivers are for and they are mostly lovely chaps who dont want us mucking about with the serious business of their van.

The idiot had been at the complimentary prosecco by the fumes coming out of his shouty mouth. I'm not going to be cowed by some idiot man with delusions of his own importance. Not when they don't even bother to say goodbye and sneak off early whenever they can. So annoyed with them. How dare they? I hope they got home and their cat had barfed in their slippers. Right down inside them. Twice.

Anyway, it is now the Easter school holidays, so voluntary GCSE cramming sessions in school on Monday and Tuesday, #3s placement day on Tuesday, and then a trip to 🇮🇪 on Wednesday for FiL's 80th , back on Monday, Placement on Tuesday, Biology cramming on Tuesday, rest of the week off, and DS3's A levels start 2 weeks later. Eeek.

Not planting nuffink until I get back, the fuchsia are all chucking out leaves, 2 geranium survived my neglect outside, the rosemary bush is flowering for the first time, the lavender is looking good after my radical retrim in autumn. I was expecting more gaps in my planters, so quite chuffed really.

My light mills are whirring crazily the last couple of weeks now the light is stronger.

I have buffed my snorkel and mask.

Always carry a towel?

Sorry the man was an idiot but good for you standing up to him …

Geraniums, lavender and rosemary are bomb proof 😊 Fuchsia can be a bit hit and is so it sounds like your courtyard is quite sheltered.

Sounds like a busy couple of weeks. I hope you get some downtime in the midst of it all.
