Good morning from Bristol. (My birthday present) Alexa tells me that it’s 4C out. Brrr.
I spent the morning yesterday, baking. I made a coconut sponge, about 6 dozen biscuits (2 flavours) and some flapjacks. Yes, I know it’s a lot, but next week, the FAB cafe is hosting one of its live performances and some 100 people attend. I like to have enough done so I don’t wear myself out the day before…
We had a funny situation on the estate. The promised scaffolding lorry turned up at 0900 with not a clue where to put it up. The painters (due the day before) arrived at 0930 and waited for the (brilliant) temporary manager then came a bit after 10. She showed them what to paint - the outside, which is obvious. Cue the scaffolding lorry to come, reverse here, move there, reverse there…. They seem to have spent the day unloading the lorry. Nothing has been put up.
The painting was due to start on Monday - nothing yet. They don’t need scaffolding to prepare/sand/paint the doors at the bottom of stairs, etc., but that would be too easy!
We have a meeting with Mr. Teflon’s line manager this afternoon. How many more layers of management do we need to get anything done? She’s in for a rough ride!
I trust everyone has a good day, no disasters…
Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩
