Day 291: Cook off

Been a busy old day today. Down to the station this morning for a train to Leeds for the cook-off for the new menu, clumsy shuffling me taking photos of the dishes for the spec sheets, someone has obviously mistaken me for a competent photographer - so day in Headingley trying to remember to take my lens cap off, not to set fire to my camera, also eating all the burgers and pizzas and mac ‘n’ cheese, then a quick stop in the Leeds city centre site, then a rammed rush-hour train back to Sheffield to go and work the close in our pub.

I am spangled now. I was doing all right and then I went up to the cellar at half ten and found three beers that needed cleaning, a load of empties that needed taking out before the delivery in the morning, a lift with the previous morning’s delivery that hadn’t been unloaded, and more empties in the lift room downstairs. And I hadn’t brought up the Belgian crates from downstairs yet, like I’d promised. And then cleaning one of the lines I splashed line cleaner all up my new jumper, bleaching the colour out of the wool and ruining it. I’d so liked that jumper the only two times I’d worn it.

And now tomorrow I need to spend a couple of hours of my day off editing the photos to send them across, which isn’t ideal. But on the other hand I’m being paid for it, and I wanted to do it, and said I would, and I got some nice shots of the bar for their and our social media, and as much free food as I could eat, and a day away in Leeds.

OK, maybe it’s tough being grateful for spending a day in Leeds. But the rest of it is all good.

Going bed now. Just realised it’s Wednesday tomorrow and I haven’t watched a film to review yet or done any work for it or even found a film that is available somewhere to watch.

That’s fine. Not a problem. I got this. I always got this.
