Tuesday 27/06/06

Bright start to the day, although cloud moves across later. The wall around the bus garage in Inaclete Road has now been pulled down and new gates were being put in this morning. Mrs B is plagued by flies in the kitchen, which come in from the backyard, attracted by the ingredients for the fruitsalad. A lady arrives off the plane who is due to visit the primary school in the morning. She is pointed in the right direction. I pay a flying visit to Somerfields. I'm not venturing outside, after this morning's one hour coughing bout. Dinner tonight is sweet and sour. Mrs B was expecting a guest, who does not turn up. He had booked into a cheaper establishment, but had not bothered to cancel his first booking. Nice. He was "doing" the islands by bike. May his punctures be numerous. We've had some fun and games with cyclists this summer. Won't easily forget the wimp that buzzed off on the ferry to his wife after a wet run up from Tarbert. At least that one did cancel. Evening passes quietly.

That was so rude of that person not to let you know he was cancelling. I hope your coughing soon stops. Jeannette xx

If you have potential guests (I'm assuming you have something like a bed and breakfast?) give a credit card # when booking, and tell them they must cancel 48 hrs in advance or be charged for the room (or maybe half) they may not do you that way!

Sounds like a wonderful recipe! Thank you for sharing it. How rude of that man to NOT cancel his reservation! How hard would it have been....a phone call?? Sheesh!
Have a good evening.

The fruit salad sounds delicious! ;)
Hate when someone doesn't show respect to others, as in canceling the reservation! :(
AOL...what can I say!
