Opening weekend = very, very hard.
All fine on Saturday until the second dishwasher was turned on and tripped the electricity. Pretty busy but it quietened after lunch which allowed me to say hello to a few people and to go and see the firing of the newly-cleaned fountain. It looks pristine. The scaffolding went up in late August so they've been working on it for months. The first day back was sunny and lovely, rainbows could be seen through the jets of water. I felt privileged to see it.
Then to today.
We were swamped. Not enough staff it turns out. The announcement of the fountain restarting had been in the national media but no one told us.
Sunshine and warmth meant people sat outside and we were running to catch up from late morning.
We ran out of change, scones, white bread (white bread? Usually everyone wants granary. What has happened?).
Amazingly we didn't run out of milk.
And then the loos became blocked. All five of them.
The icing on the cake.
