Hey ho, hey ho...

 ...off to clean we go! 

Wednesday is my longest day in the week. I start answering WhatsApp messages from 3am. Motivating and congratulating Weigh-Less members from all over the world who send their weights in on my phone. I eventually do my motivational talks (I have four groups in two sections) by 14h30. 

Which is fine

On a normal day

However, yesterday I had guests checking out after a five-day- stay and International guests checking in at 14h00.

I dealt with about 50% of my online members before 7.30. Then popped over to Ronnie to ask if I could have the morning off from the farm office. Of course, she said! 

So sporting our picks and shovels bags, buckets and mops, off to the mountains Thandi and I went. 

We met the guests; I let them out and then Thandi and I stripped the linen off the bed and remade it with fresh bedding. As I've mentioned before, Thandi and I do certain jobs together and then we continue with other separate tasks. 

After I had dusted and polished the wood surfaces; wiped the TV screen, mirrors, door handles and light switches with sanitizer, and set out the Continental breakfast food  (Thandi was busy in the kitchen at this stage), I decided to help her by cleaning the bathroom. 

C'est moi cleaning the shower cubicle

The guests at the top were honeymooners who had postponed their wedding twice because of Covid. They were finally married in October last year and the bride booked The Bunker for May this year

The guests below came from the Free State; he works in India for three months and comes home for three weeks. They decided to spend this holiday with us here in the beautiful Berg

Previous guests sent me this photo of their stay at The Bunker

By now it was 10.30 and I could continue with my online responses while sitting in The Bunker. Oh,  the wonder of technology.

 Thandi was working on the patio by now and finally she, too,  was finished. 

After dropping her at home at 12noon, I returned to the farm. I loaded the washing machine with linen brought from the accommodation. I then proceeded to deliver my motivational talks online. 

Eventually all was done and I could have lunch at 15h00! 

All in a day's work for me and Thandi...

HAPPY THURSDAY TO YOU ALL!

  2. That's a lot of work to get done in so short a period of time. I don't know how you could get all that done and in fact all the other stuff that you did at the same time
