It's always the same, isn't it? There was unfortunately no volunteer receptionist available to cover this afternoon, after about 1:30pm, and so the phone kept ringing and people came in their droves to the reception desk. Okay, I might be exaggerating that a little bit! :) If you're reading this and think you (or someone else you know) might have a bit of spare time and would like to have a go at reception, I am sure Nicki would appreciate it greatly.
This afternoon's dive went very well, though we did only have the one 'passenger' - one of the regulars for that slot. It is a shame as when I started on that dive, the Monday 13:30 which was my 'first' regular dive, there were 4 (sometimes 5) going in it each week. Now there is 1 or 2, occasionally... well, rarely, 3 clients. We have another 'new starter' beginning her 15 sessions in a couple of weeks time - maybe she'll end up going into the Monday PM session... who knows..?
As usual on a Monday, it's very busy for a while when I arrive, then around 2pm it just goes very quiet. Well, apart from the TV which seemed to redefine the term loud volume this afternoon. I did not think he who was watching it and shall remain correctly nameless had hearing difficulties or anything... guess he just likes it loud. It made reading very difficult for me though, and I gave up in the end.
Carolyn, my regular No. 2 assistant, was back today after having some time off after breaking her elbow. Very nasty. She just slipped over and fell... I told her to try and be more careful in future, if he sees you coming along the ice cream man does normally wait... ;) Ha ha...
I mean't to not be in today, as a matter of fact, since it's my wedding anniversary - but I left it a bit late to tell Nicki so she couldn't have found cover in time. No matter, I was just away from my lovely wife for about 2½ hours or so.
I'm doing a fuller week this week - tomorrow, Wednesday, Friday and of course Saturday. The weeks go by so fast. Take care all - back soon -
