had fun fun fun as it was Cieran's birthday so organised cover for a couple of days but didn't tell Gemma or the kid's and just turned up on Thursday morning and knocked on the door, i was then cordially greeted by a very surprised Gembops who instantly burst into tears and was a complete emotional explosion. didn't really know what to do at that point and even though Cieran wasn't at the door i decided to break the sadness with another rendition of happy birthday (minus the balloons), i seem to be singing that alot just lately.
i was completely creamed as i had just finished 12 hours of night shift and then driven the 3 hours to home from work so grabbed a couple of hours down time before the guest's arrived and it was great to see everyone but i didn't remember saying i would stand and cook food and pour drinks all day oh well! Cieran was in good form with his funny quotes as per usual the best one being "everybody can you all please listen?!........HAS ANYONE SEEN MY BALL'S?!" he was referring to the ones out of his game and to be honest being only six years old didn't really get what every body was hysterically laughing at.
really good to see big bear and his new girl Donna was kind of them to travel up just for cieran's birthday although i know Mr Egan was dissapointed that the evening didn't end with a "bowl full of room key's" but it was good never the less.
it is good to write these thing's down, i suppose a memory recorded is one never forgotten. and with that in mind i decided to privately start a diary or memoir if you like of the funnier thing's that have happened on some of the job's i have worked. obviously names and certain deed's would be left out as I'm not planning to publish anything but when i sat back and remembered some of the situations i have been in i have physically laughed out loud i think the one that made me decide to write them down was this one.
it was the first time i had looked after this particular client and all was going great, a few surprises but no drama's. we had gone into an Indian restaurant that we happened to pass as the client was taking a walk. it was a lovely place quite up market and pricey. everything was fine the client and his guest's were chatting relaxing and having a dink and some food when the Indian owner came over to see if everything was OK and of course get a little close to the client, then the Indian guy's wife came over in full traditional dress complete with bindi (spot on her head) and the client calls her over to him. he complements her and Tell's her how beautiful she looks and that he loves her bindi, then he Say's"i used to go out with a girl who had a bindi you know!" "oh really!" the Indian lady answers, "yes really she had a bindi just like yours, and one night i rubbed it off and it said I'd won a Mercedes!". at that point the Indian lady kind of staggered backwards with shock then did a little laugh and walked off. i was trying my hardest to not laugh but my eye's were filling up and i thought i would explode right there and then. but through the tears i was planning our sharp exit just in case the husband wanted to "express his displeasure" but all was cool and we left having tipped heavily and all was forgiven......
that's all for now stay safe thanks for reading.
