Just a couple of curveballs in the past few days....
Last week an email arrived asking if we could accommodate 11 cyclists for coffee & cake in Sunday morning. They were cycling from Ludlow to Gloucester.
Yes, happily, we said, and prepared for their arrival.
We served the eleven (they like their cake) but the orders kept coming.
A second, larger cycling group had arrived. They too wanted coffee and cake.
The cake display needed refilling and all the mugs in the place were in use.
Then yesterday - forecast rain and strong winds - I thought I'd be fine to take a few hours off.
Silly me.
That was the day for an unexpected coach.
That was the day that Freda agreed to come in to help but then realised she didn't have transport so walked the 3 miles to work.
That was the day the other two people who were working both felt under the weather.
I need a good crystal ball. And no curve ones.
