So .....
Saturday.
.... forgot to mention the fire alarm which insists on telling us (VERY LOUDLY) on the hour, every hour that the phone line is down. Yes, we know. No, we can't override it so I have my alarm set every hour at night so I can "reset" the fire alarm for another hour and let the guests sleep.
Saturday.
- Guests arriving that don't have the room they should have.
- DH off to a party because I have check-ins I can't work around
- Guests that are due to arrive late arrive early
- Guests that are due to arrive early arrive very late
- Thunderstorm
- Direct lightening hit
- No Power, No .... nothing
- Go to get my Coleman lamps - every battery is burnt out (despite not being used ... 8 D batteries per lamp)
- DH arrives home nice and relaxed to a wife barking out orders .....
- Get lamps going, put "romantic" battery operated candles in all the rooms - just finished last one and .... the lights come back on.
