Hey ho!

 Good morning, dear Blogger friends. Every time I post, I seem to apologize. 

Once again, I have been flat out working and, yes, walking!

Recently I posted this image below on my Virtual Weigh-Less WhatsApp group, saying this is what your Group Leader is doing (among other things) when she's not motivating the members!

Daisy Mop or Betty Swab! 

Over the Easter weekend,  Thandi and I worked on Good Friday, cleaning after guests who had checked out and preparing for guests checking in that afternoon. 
My fear is always that I will pinch my fingers in the workings of these folding beds

On Easter Monday, I had told Thandi to stay home (a public holiday, called Family Day). The weekend guests had checked out at 10am and I was expecting guests that afternoon.  I was alone at The Bunker, cleaning and making up extra beds for the family due to arrive later that day. 
Fortunately, no injury that day! 

On Thursday last week, it was back up at The Bunker for me and Thandi. Cleaning after the two businessmen had occupied. They are always easier, attending conferences during the day and going out at night, these guests often don't cook and they definitely don't braai (BBQ). We are always grateful that we're spared cleaning one of the two outdoor grills.  

While wiping the kitchen countertops, Thandi found a nut and bolt. 

Mmm...

Turning over the chairs, I discovered one of these little objects missing from a chair. I am NOT maintenance orientated. Nevertheless, I do always have a star and a flat screwdriver in the bag with the linen. So...

Handywoman on the job! 

The finished product for our weekend guests

A dear vintage couple arrived on Friday to occupy The Bunker. I gave an itinerary of events in the Valley and Winterton, over the weekend. There was a special concert at the world-famous Drakensberg Boys Choir school on Saturday morning. The guests have just phoned me now to let them out of the gate (I am still busy in the farm office where I work every morning) They thanked me effusively for the heads up about the concert. They were blown away by the performance and atmosphere. This is a given of anyone who experiences these talented young lads. 

Now, its back up to The Bunker to clean and prepare for the next guests. I close up my office here, collect Thandi from my cottage next door and it's...

HEY HO, HEY HO. OFF TO WORK WE GO!

HAVE A WONDERFUL MONDAY!
