Evening all, although actually morning here I suppose.
Just a very quick thank you for all your help and support (emotional and technical) with the garden, especially with the Open Day. All went very well ( I have tried to post pics on other thread, hope it works).
I was hoping for a day off today after all the excitement (and effort) of yesterday but unfortunately not to be. All 3 rooms checked out and as I breathed a sigh of relief a booking came through from four New Zealanders for two nights, so there I was back to making beds and steaming shower cubicles, on a very hot day too. They are lovely people though so that is a bonus.
Not stopped all day so haven't had time to read back properly, hope you are all ok, I caught the tail end of some trouble Panda seems to be having, was afraid to look back too far, sounded a bit scary.
Really hope things will calm down a bit now, although next week I am teaching all week for an 'English Week' event for a group of young French children - and Charlie breaks up from school on Friday..... may not be so calm after all.

Thanks for all you have brought to this site Bill - you've been a star. Toronto will forever be Otnorot in my mind because of you
