Take a 30 second vacation.
Go within and focus on the positive,
thereby creating an attitude
built of strength, courage
and infinite possibilities.
Keith D Harrell
Whatever people do, feel, think or say,
don't take it personally.
Others are going to have their own opinion
according to their belif system,
so whatever they think about you is not about you,
but it is about them.
Don Miguel Ruiz
Just realised I forgot to post week 18 picture – so here it is.
Being really busy and not having internet always – it is harder at the moment.
So please bear with me and I do try to visit you all in between.

Joy is a pure state of bliss,
and it's attained by bringing comfort and relief to other people.
Doing so will bring joy to your life everyday.

In the loft I found 40 year old records of my apprenticeship journals.
I learnt the Hotel Business.
I learnt all aspects like reception, kitchen, serving, bar, clean rooms and running a hotel.
We had to write weekly reports, had them signed by the mentor and by the big boss.
It was fun to read them all again.
Life has changed in this electronic age…..look at that 🙂
This is how credit cards worked in 1982, the machine imprinted the guest’s and Hotel’s name. There were 3 copies , the last one for the guest, the the other 2 for the CC company and the hotel file.If you had breakfast in my hotel, your table would look like that in 1981For lunch and dinner you would find the table like that.A four course dinner looks like this. It was fish for the 1st course. You can see the ideal wine glass shape. Cheers!
There were no computers back then.
The Hotel journal was written by hand with a carbon paper and added up in the evening.
All reservations were taken by post or telephone and recorded on a chart.
It is funny to think this life without computers.
I really enjoyed my time in the Hotel with wonderful guests and colleagues.
