Grinding to a halt

Enough. Please make it stop.
This morning the coffee machine broke down. It refused point blank to warm up then dumped a lot of water all over the serving area.
The engineer has been called.
We're third on his list for tomorrow so I'm hoping the first two calls are to people who have simply forgotten how to plug in their machine ....

A young couple with their gorgeous Dalmatian came in early and went to sit in the conservatory. They were back at the counter within a minute to ask if we had anything they could use to clear up after their dog who'd been sick. A lot. They apologised about ten times and insisted on clearing and cleaning and mopping. I bet their tea was almost cold by the time they got to it.

In better news...our huge gate was in the process of being replaced and painted as I left this evening. Plus the card machine seems to have settled in, and we're all rather taken by the ham slicer which works a treat.
I hope I haven't spoken too soon.

We had a busy day of ice creams and panini, sandwiches and lots of scones, ham slicing and coleslaw making.
