I spend most of my time in the reception area, best for wifi coverage. It's also closest to the front door Tonight A woman arrives to see her dad, without a booking, were under lockdown. Staff try to calm her down as she was getting angry. So they tried to accommodate her and get a meeting in a remote room. Staff speaks to the dad, he's got dementia, and says he doesn't want to see her as he only has sons. Staff arrange a visit for tomorrow. I'm on the edge of the conversation and ask how far she has come, Cornwall she said. 13 hours on the road. She's booked into a Travelodge nearby. She said she has a snack for later, I said she could do with a glass of wine. She said she could down a bottle, but we're in the countryside nowhere near. Hang on a minute back to my room and pick a bottle of chablis. Her face was a picture. The pleasure of doing something good for a complete stranger is a really nice feeling Nice lady returned last night. Her dad remembered her. She also remembered my name , she also bought me a lovely bottle of red. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Messenger, MLB At Bat (if the Yankees played a night game, then the news, then VT. Then get out of bed, make coffee, more VT with the telly on in the background. In the workweek, I’ll only check the news and sports results before the chaos of trying not to be late for work starts and leave VT for coffee breaks at work.

I think he could have added a little bit of extra gravitas by referring to venue as THE Weatherspoons. Edited July 4, 2022 by Genie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
