Ethelred the unready

Will I never learn? Nobody booked in on Monday night and no bookings for dinner. So I told the waitress to take the night off since, in the unlikely event of a stray chance guest coming in I’d be able to cope fine with both cooking and waiting.

I was up in Edinburgh again to see Mum in hospital and got back late (roadworks at the city bypass). Almost on the stroke of six, two folk turned up looking for a room.

Followed by two looking for dinner

Followed by two looking for a room

Followed by one looking for dinner

Followed by the two who had booked in coming for dinner

Followed by one looking for a room… and dinner

All of this happened in the space of fifteen minutes. It got a bit frantic

but I managed.

just…

No dinner tomorrow.
