Monday started pleasantly enough but the day was soon interrupted by showers.  Still I caught up with some extra washing.  Usual Monday routines of rubbish and laundry collections.  Spent Monday afternoon catching up with accounts, by this time of the month I have paid the usual monthly bills but the credit card bill has arrived and the bank statements need reconciling.  Tuesday was quite pleasant, again interrupted by showers, but not as many as Monday.  One cottage out of our peak district cottages and one cleaner up to prepare it for the next guests.  Spent the afternoon doing the first draft of next years prices  Although we are already getting enquiries and bookings for next year I am booking them at this years prices.  Bad news in the evening from my relief cleaner who has shingles, so she will probably not be available for a while if I am short.
