Holidays and stuff ...

Used to have bookings spread all across the week and weekends. Since all the after school clubs they're 90% weekends nowadays. This means I have to take fewer bookings because of all the other things that claim weekend time! Sad! What with Mrs Wonky, two Miss Wonkies and Grandma Wonky. No chance for a poor male Wizard.
A little party at home after school used to fit in nicely for the poor parents. Not to put too fine a point on it - it was all done and dusted and ready for bed! Now though - weekend parties take the whole day up. Decorating the village hall is bad enough but you also have to entertain all the parents. With the party at lunch time - what do you do with the afternoon? Suddenly the birthday party takes all day.
As far as I'm concerned Sods Law says I'll have a booking on one side of the county in Hay-on-Wye and the next person to phone up will be from the other side of Worcestershire in Evesham. I envy those working in Birmingham with millions within reach of an average powered wand! They can probably fit several bookings in in one day.
Having said that I'm often in London or Somerset or Bolton.....but still not achieved my desire of a booking in Dubai. Though I have been to Germany. Now there's a story!
