Ouch! I have written this blog and I forgot to publish on line!!!
It's already a week past!!!
Here is the blog I have written earlier... (sorry some of the event's has gone)
************************************
It's September.
However, Brighton seems to be still in Summer.
I don't know how long it last, but this weather makes me stay in holiday mood.
Awww....
Yesterday was the last off during (my children's) Summer holiday. As usual, only time passed so quickly and non of my job I was going to didn't get done. It was a kind bad luck that I found my important adzuki bean paste pot stopped working.
I switched on the machine with ingredients fully loaded. Only alarm and error message was shown and nothing happened. It had been working really well... for past 5 years. Finally, it threw a tantrum. It was the last when the TV crews came to see how I make Adzuki bean paste two weeks ago.
Now still not working.
I cannot guess how much the repair costs.
There was another shocking news...
It was from one of my suppliers announced price up all the products I buy, due to Brexit.
Isn't it happening in two years?
The price change starts from next week. Unbelievable.
So, I was going to announce something new in September here, but I now need to start saving money to purchase the THING again.
I don't know how manage all the expenses in all other cafes.
Can anyone teach how to run a cafe properly?
