Yeah, the bulk of them are lovely people but, they do seem to leave their brains at home when they go on holiday. And every guest teaches you something, I learned something quite substantial from a guest just last week.
They requested an early check-in because they had an afternoon wedding to attend and wanted time to prepare themselves here rather than travel up from town dressed in their finery....which I granted.
They arrived looking like a pair of dags but they had some pretty fancy clothes in a suitcase with them.
They asked to use the ironing board and iron which made available to them.
They left at 2.00pm for the wedding, leaving the airconditioning system running....which I have come to expect! Despite the fact the unit is powerful enough to heat the cottage to a good temperature in less than 6 minutes, they think leaving it running for the 9 hours they are away from here will somehow make up for that 6 minute inconvenience on their return.
But, as I said, I learned something I was not aware of before!
I was doing a bit of weeding in the garden next to the cottage and I heard faintly a 'beeping' noise coming from inside the cottage. I don't like entering the space once guests arrive, it's their space and they are entitled to have that respected but, this beeping intrigued me, I hadn't heard it before, so I thought I had better go and investigate.
On entering the cottage the beeping was coming from the iron sitting on the ironing board. When they left, they left the iron switched on and running just sitting upright on the fabric of the ironing board, and it appears, if the iron is left switched on and un-attended for 15 minutes it will start beeping........never knew that before, nobody I have met in my life up until now has ever been stupid enough to put it to the test!
But there you go, as nice as they are Ann, many of them do seen to have sheep sh*t for brains when it comes to other peoples property!
