Not Enough Hours in the Day
Well if last week wasn’t bad enough this week has been worse. We eventually ended up with 8 full time students, 15 part time and 29 I think on Horse owners and people are still trying to enrol. Lynne started as yard manager this week and two of our three schools started back on the E3 programme. Three schools next week. Amelia and I are going to France tomorrow to visit the french riding school that want to link up with us with the idea of perhaps organising an ecxchange visit for some of our clients. Today I sorted out the ride list for the day and several other things then rode Destiny for an hour then I had an appointment to have my hair cut at noon and then I thought I would do all the lesson lists and make sure everything was in place for the next four days. So getting back from the hairdressers just before 1pm I grabbed a quick sandwich and sat down at the computer. When a large van arrived. Last week I bought a flat screen TV to go on the wall in the lounge but I thought it was being delivered next week but no it was today. so leaving the lists I cleared a space in the lounge the men brought all the stuff in then casually said ‘where’s your bracket love’ to which I replied ‘what bracket’ apparently I had bought one but the store hadn’t given it to me, So off I go to Comet in Talbot Green to pick up the bracket, its now getting on for 2pm The workman insisted I sat on the settee and stared at a large piece of cardboard which he held on the wall to decide where I wanted the TV. I can now seeing the hours running away and I have to leave for the theatre at 6pm. So I’m tempted to tell them to stick it anywhere but no I have to decide. Eventually I get back to the work I need to do when the school turns up, realising that Lynne has never done schools before and neither have the new students I am now running around like a headless chicken trying to get them started. I sort of get the rest of my lists done by 6.10pm and manage to pick up my friend late and meet the other two in time for one vodka before the start. Have to say we went to see Fiddler on the Roof and it was absolutely amazing. Anyway dropped everyone off and am just finishing the rest of the work I have to do and then I am gonna pack. Leaving at 6.30am will tell you all about it next week.
