Feeling the after effects of Elvington

Woke this morning with everything aching, went back to sleep for another half hour while mike was showering and getting ready - he has a full day golf today, so was away for 8am. Still didn't feel any better when I got up so rang and cancelled my only job booked for today and will have a quiet day getting cleared up after the weekend.
We did really well this weekend with our fresh food sales, Saturday was quiet and steady, but we expected that, as most people knew the Avro Vulcan was coming to do a display on Sunday and wow, was Sunday busy, the show organisers must be very please.
The burger van man however was not, he came up to us on Sunday morning and had a heavy word with us about him having all catering rights on the site, and how we were flouting all sorts of regulations. Andrea and I were both polite and 'interested' in what he said, then laughed about him after he had gone. We had sold out of all sandwich fillings and bread by just after lunchtime and the cakes were all gone by mid afternoon. We did pretty well with our other stuff, and I'll cash up today and see what we actually have taken.
The Vulcan, as ever, was spectacular, we got a fly past as it went to do a couple of other events it was booked for, and then it came back and gave us all a thrilling 5 minutes. The noise is amazing and makes your heart flutter, I do wonder how wonderful it must be to be the pilots, but apparently they don't hear most of the roar of the engines. Anyway, a brilliant weekend all in, but paying for being on my feet for all that time.
