10.05.08 – why do you not have a tour on Fridays?

We are often asked that very question, so since I have spilled the beans on a typical working day I shall now reveal what happens on a Friday (which is our one day off work together!)
Well the story normally starts on Thursday night on which we always try to have a night out together and a dinner and a few medicinal drinks! This week we both finished fairly early on Thursday night – Chris had been to Kerry and me to the Cliffs so we were both in about 7.00, so then it was a quick shower and change into the glad rags and head off in our car to town (we leave the car and collect it Friday!).

We had a drink in a bar in town then went for a lovely Indian meal at one of our favourite restaurants – Poppadom. After a superb feed we headed to one of our newer haunts Smyths bar where as usual we were the oldest in the place – but never mind! We saw an excellent band there called The Wilful from Galway – great stuff – highly recommended if you have never heard a heavy rock cover of Abba! – we really enjoyed their set and it was just the thing to take away the cares of last week.

So rather late we took a taxi home and retired to bed for a lie in until woken by our first booking at 08.00! We then had a leisurely breakfast before I started washing and fueling busses and did a couple of repair jobs as well as ordering some parts for next weeks jobs. Chris did some e.mails and booked train tickets as well as another vital job – the washing.

We then headed for town in style on my new motorbike – Thanks again Chris! As we had to do some banking before taking off to do a bit of bike touring to Cashel for lunch then back to Limerick to pick up the car and a take away for Friday night and a peaceful night watching telly and of course answering e.mails and online bookings then an early night ready to start another week of tours!

I hope this answers why we do not have a tour on Fridays as we actually cant legally work 7 days and I don’t think either of us could stand not having the few hours to ourselves on Thursday night and Friday morning, so if you are trying to contact us on a Friday by phone and we don not answer straight away we might just be motorbiking!
