Counting down to Brendan's departure
I have increased the font size so all my older readers will not have to squint so much.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Got up and got ready as per usual and went for the crossies .
I entered the bakery and was 2nd in line. There are 2 assistants on. 1 is serving and the other is placing rolls in bags. 4 more customers have now entered the shop. making 6 and only 1 being served.
Now 7 people in and shop is crowded but still she puts the rolls in the bags.
Finally the other assistant says something too her. The face and expression she gave her back,. like "What, you want me too serve theses low lifes bread" .
Anyway finally I got my 6 crossiants and headed to make the eggs.
Eggs 100% perfect
All moods good.
Brendan in fine form. Giuseppe in fine form. Emmett in fine form and mother ship is in fine form (what else dare I say) except for the pain she is surrering from after the dentist butcher got hold of her 12 days ago.
12 days in terrible pain. She has begged and borrowed pain killers from anyone and everyone and mother ship is not one to take tablets. She hates taking any tablets.
"Not good for you" she informs you, if she catches you taking even the smallest pill.
She went back to him to complain but came away still in pain but even more so. While he got hold of her he removed the 3 stitches she had to have on her 1st visit.
" Have you been washing your mouth out with them mouth washes" He demanded to know.
"NO I never use any of those products" Mother ship replied.
He cannot admit he has fucked up. He just sent her away.

7pm
Giuseppe decided to cook his specialality dish (sorry forget name) . Only 2 takers me and mother ship.
A lot of work to take on just for the two of us. Giuseppe must be going out tonight. Buttering us up for the " Gis a loan" requests.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tonight I have my 1st check in (10.30 Schipol). Not having done one for so long I am a nervous wreck.. 10 lads on a stag weekend and just little old me. "You took the booking you check them in" Brendan informed me the other day. HELP!
Well I am crazy. Everytime someone see's our places they love them so I should not be worried. But I am a worrier and not a warrior like Brendan.
From the time I opened my eyes this morning it's been on my mind.
Tick tock tick tock. The check in time approches.
10.30 PM Schipol.
I head down at 10.30 even though Brendan will phone me when the taxi has collected them, but me being nervous as hell I head down too make sure all is ok with the apartments and to turn on all the lights and gadgets.
10.50pm
Brendan phones " There on there way" he inform me. My heart misses several beats and then starts racing like mad.
10.55.
Our crazy landlord arrives back from Eygpt with a ton of bags and suitcases. I helped him inside with them praying that the group would not arrive for a few more minutes.
11.30
I am still waiting for them when our land lord comes out all spick and span, showered and shaved and wearing his finest.
The minute I saw him I knew it was Friday. (He goes out on the town every friday) . His taxi arrived and he was off.
11.40
I have forgotten the guys name at this stage and am thinking of phoning Brendan again to ask him for the 2nd time but though better of it. I'll just say "Hello lads" or "Hello Guys".
I said both over and over too myself to see which sounded best.
11.45
The two taxis arrive with the group.
The taxi doors open and they start to pour out. They all get thier bags and they march into the hall. I am holding open the door and greeting each one on entry forgetting each name instantly opon hearing it.
All in all in. I close the door and turn around to a packed hall, 20 eyes all staring at me. I swollow deeply and say
I'm Richard , one of them pipes up.
Hi Richard , I replied and "Follow me" I said one and all.
We all tramped up the stairs and suppenly there was a mad scramble and all ten were gone. I walked into COKE and guys were running about looking for somewhere to call MINE keep off / out.
After a few minutes several started to panic. I could see it on there faces "NOT ENOUGH BEDS" SAHRING BEDS WITH MY FRIENDS , HELP , ALARM BELLS start to go off in several of there heads.
"Where are all the beds" people start too question Richard.
I broke my silence and spoke up " Order, Order, calm down There is a bed for everyone . No sharing required. No need to abandon ship.
Several faces turned from worry to happiness on hearing my words.
They had ordered NOTHING to be in the apartment for there arrival so all they got was the standard complimentary mini bars which were consumed in minutes, all 20 beers and all other drinks and sweets were devoured.
Then the questions started. " Where can we get, this, where can we get that' "Beer " Sex, hookers, strpippers, the wicked "D" word.
Several of them followed me down to our office and borrowed several cases of beer and several packets of jaffa cakes.
So it's jaffa cakes and beer all round, I guess.

Today in Amsterdam was a ok day, started cold but got warmer later on.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Very busy in Amsterdam. We are turning away 100's of requests for accommodation as we only have a few apartments and we want to keep it this way. Any bigger and we fear loosing the personal touch we offer at present.
And already we are working 13-16 hours a day each just keeping a few apartments operating.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.46am

More later
