What to start with on my very first blog! Perhaps to answer the question why am I doing this? Well I have always wanted to write so what better place to start then on my very own blog.
Why am I called Grandmapippie, well you will have to ask my grandson that, but it is probably because my springer spaniel is called Pippa!!
My day started early with the phone ringing cancelling the 6 o'clock pick up, it was only 5 o'clock but I suppose they thought they were being helpful. ( We run a small taxi business which is not 24 hours!!!)
Today being Monday starts off with banking and admin, in between answering the phone and sending my husband out on jobs. As the day progressed I also had to go out and spent some time on the taxi rank.
I enjoy driving which is a good thing and I also enjoy chatting to the clients.
This evening I ended up giving my life history in a matter of 10 minutes just because someone asked me where I came from. People find it hard to trace my accent because I have literally lived all over the place. (In London, Essex, Hertfordshire, Yorkshire, Tyne and Wear and South Africa.)
We have some strange requests occasionally.
I had a query today as to whether we could transport a crab to someones home about 20 miles away, I presume it will be a dead one and in a box. Will find out tomorrow if we get the job.
Sometimes we are asked to do some shopping, booze and cigarettes are common as well as pizzas and chinese meals.
After a busy day it has been great to relax and watch a bit of TV catching up on the weekends viewing.
I am now going to publish this and see hiow it looks.
