Two have left, to return the following Monday – four
new worker boys registered today; two regulars here since yesterday. (Great to
populate the hotel – January IS slow for business, it is true – however, I take exception to the gunk these guys track up and
down the stairs, and the smudges left along the walls. (How can we make this
win-win? Hhmm.)
Photos_
1- helped prepare a Singles Weekend poster and
registration form, to be held here at the Richmoor Hotel in February – just
like it had been in November when I first showed up to fall in love with
Weymouth. (In fact, the cover photo was taken on that occasion.) It is my job
to notify the unofficial UK LDS singles website to have it included: A Murder Mystery
⁄ Crime Drama Weekend.
2- one-of-a-kind pink car, obviously parked
outside a repair shop – a woman off to the side, wearing a shirt the exact
color as the car, chatting to what appeared to be the mechanic. I asked her if
it was her car, (yes, it was) and how would she feel about standing next to it
to so I could take their mutual pink picture. (No, she definitely did not like
that idea, and quickly moved out of shooting range.) Shucks, it would have made
for such a great shot, what with the juxtaposition of the colors and
all. Nobody would have known her from Eve, and besides that, quite honestly,
you wouldn’t have been able to see her face clearly anyway. Too bad.
3- vestiges of the Olympics – Mandeville (mascot
for the Paralympics) guarding over the Weymouth train station (not a place I’ve spent a
whole lot of time – so far – but I pass it every time I walk to Aldi)
4- travel office – like the ones who book their
groups into our hotel (These shops, and the tours they offer are very common in
England. I first noticed them in Grimsby – it seemed that in town such travel
shops were practically like every fifth store or something. I know Murdock
Travel and others do tours, but I have always thought of them as major time and
financial investments, and so had not paid a whole lot of attention. The tours
here range from 2-4 days, are very reasonably priced, and take you any number
of places, near and far – in the UK and abroad {‘course ‘abroad’ here is a LOT
closer than ‘abroad’ there}, all arrangements having been made for your traveling
enjoyment and convenience.)
