back to the grindstone

hi all, yes it was back to the grindstone today after a week off and what a good week i had too. contrary to popular belief i was not "knocking a round off" it is now too dark to play golf after work and mark was working so i was off on my own til friday, we then went to london to visit my brother in stratford where the new olympic stadium is, it looks really good, we then went to see billy elliot the musical and that was just awesome.
i really can't beleive how many holidays have been booked over the last few weeks for next year and it is nice to see some returning customers, hi to lorraine lintern who has booked "pippin" for next year and also hi to kerry morgan who has booked "princess", look forward to meeting with you again in 2012.
fred has been up to his usual tricks today like doing my head in and bernard has attended a call out as well as other bits and bobs around the yard, fred was hoping to have half a days holiday but that didn't materialise (sorry fred) and mick has been finishing off some private work before we get stuck into the winter works on the hire fleet, we have got lots to do.
we have been quiet in the shop and tea room today which has allowed us to catch up on lots of jobs and for me to catch up on a weeks work, the joys of having a holiday.
simon has been busy going through all the hire boats looking at what work we will be doing and sending e mails back to me by mistake that i sent to him, i daren't send one back to him or he would call me a numpty, we're all numpties here at norbury even his girlfriend amanda, but we're past all that now aren't we amanda ?, we just welcome everyone to the numpty club so if you would like to join just give us a call and we'll enrol you, that's it from me tonight, teas ready, speak soon byeeeeeeeee.
