Well Spring has finally sprung and with the majority of work inside the Lemon Tree almost complete our attentions were focused on the flower bed at the front. Now I am notorious for killing plants so the actual thought of Gardening brings me out in a rash........well maybe that's just the sensible shoes I have to wear whilst actually doing anything, so with keen gardeners in the meeting, my feeble pleas of false nails and high heels fell on deaf ears oh ............and being the only female maybe had something to do with it.
Anyway, my favourite suggestion of the day was astro turf but sadly to say I was overruled so now frantically searching for dear little old men that want paid in beer.............and unfortunately Google has let me down
On the brighter side I met the terribly glamorous sales rep for our beer products and she had brought me some presents. Beer, beer and what was it again, oh yeah the pint glasses..............we are having crystal pint glasses, can you believe it. They are so amazing, so get in quick before the staff have broken them all!! Maybe I should have opted for the plastic ones!
The builders have been amazing so far and really nice when we go to visit them on site, Steve the foreman is ace at making tea, not that I judge people on that skill alone, really........ So in the spirit of being hospitable, I decided to use them as guinea pigs, although in a caring and sharing way, just incase any of them ever read this!
We have been looking at expanding our repertoire and changing a little bit of who we were to promote a chilled out and relaxed atmosphere by offering more of a continental style coffee shop during the day and weekends where you can come for a late breakfast or coffee and cake to read the papers, so I made muffins and as I was very overenthusiastic with the doses, I ended up with 36, I took them to the meeting with me. Well they obviously enjoyed the more traditional of banoffee or the one with forest fruits but my more unusual almond and marzipan offering was looked at a bit askew. Maybe I should have stuck to white choc chip. I also made Caerphilly, sundried tomato and spinach one..............yum. I'm trying to convince Carmine that they have to go on the menu and so far I'm winning, I think...............maybe
There are now so many little things to co-ordinate that its becoming a teeny bit complicated to keep a grip on it all, I have now taken to dreaming about it so much that I forget what I've done and what I've dreamt so I might try and write the blog again tomorrow. I wonder if it would be better then too, although I now have a little fan base that look forward to reading my Wednesday night blog.............ok it consists of my sister and niece but it gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside.
I'm glad I get a little encouragement off someone as per usual my gaffes have now taken on epic proportions, the builders were in hysterics when I asked " Why Can't you just give me an extra 10 inches" I meant the desktop, can't think for the life of me what they thought I meant..
On that note I'd best go before I get into any more trouble
Talk to you all soon
