Quieter day

Today (Thursday) was a quieter day with less hassle. Started at six this morning removing aluminium pieces from carpets then went on to make the pub floor and toilets shine. Cups of coffee there .... very nice! This was followed by three house cleans. Each one taking only 45 - 60 minutes for us to complete, but then there is travelling time in between! These were interupted with what should have been a quick trip to Poole but the volume of traffic, roadworks and traffic lights kept interferring with the 'quick' plan! Never mind, succeeded with the object of the trip and completed the third house clean by 3.40pm. Arrived home at 4.10pm to take the dog out for half an hour in the New Forest. Ponies, donkeys, and deer all on display today, attempting to find a place in the shade away from the flies. The dog managed to find a long dead badger in a hedge and was attempting to pull it out! A few kind words put a stop to that and we carried on to the stream. One wet but cooler dog to return home with.
Cup of coffee, read the mail, write this and it was time to set off for the evening cleans. These should be OK, there will be a cleaning crew of three so should be back by 8.30pm provided there are no unforseen problems. Then it will be time to take the dog out again, eat (something only done on the move so far today) and then perhaps fall asleep in front of the television and hopefully waking before midnight to let the dog out quickly before seeking the shelter and haven of my bed! The one thing I can look forward to is a little extra time in bed. As it will be Friday I do not have to be up until 7.0am. See you then.
PS
How wrong can you be!
Arrived home finally at 9.30pm. This was nothing to do with the cleans but on our outward journey a tanker going down the dual carriageway decided to burst into flames. We came down this same road about 5 minutes after the fire started and then came to a grinding halt for one hour. If only the unforseen could actually be forseen then we would be able to avoid a large number of problems. Perhaps I should start studying my horoscope each morning? Would that actually help?
