Monday
Today was the day…
We had a blocked loo in the cottage. The family who left at about 7:30am, left everything in great shape but mentioned that the downstairs toilet was draining very slowly. I told Mike so he checked it out and then tried unblocking it, unsuccessfully. We tried phoning our regular plumber to no avail. Then I remembered someone recommending another so I looked up that one.
Mike was in his overalls and I was phoning Infinite. They said they’d phone back within ten minutes. I got a whatsapp to ask the latest they could come. I said 12 noon as we had guests expected at 1pm. A short while later, Sarah, who was on the whatsapp said a team was on the way. Meanwhile, Mike, in preparation for a Plan B went back to the old house to pick up some of his plumbing equipment. When he got back and I told him Infinite were on their way he was so happy. Mike does not like plumbing. The team arrived, unblocked the pipe and proceeded to fix a little hole at the back on the loo. Such a help. They were done in an hour! I left a 5* review and now have them on speed dial!
Meantime, Memory had arrived to clean the cottage. She was a super-char! She motored through the house and in 4 hours had cleaned from top to bottom. I’ll have to do the cleaning tomorrow (only the Little Lookout) and Thursday (the Cottage) but she said she can come back next Tuesday 28th and Friday 31st.
So by 12 noon all the excitement was over. The guest cottage was sparkling, the laundry was just about done and the plumbing was sorted. The new family arrived after 1:30pm and they are happy to be in.
I got to work this afternoon and just about caught up.
James 4:6
He gives grace generously. As the Scriptures say, “God opposes the proud but give grace to the humble.”
The best is yet to come – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
