#Ulog number three - I visited Donald Trump today
I told you in my previous ulog about my blue Monday with showers of water pouring from my ceiling.
Everything's been calm on the home front since that horrid geyser burst, and life here at Lily's Cottage has returned to a calm with the current guests all settled in.
Tuesday and Wednesday was busy; one of the things we do most days when running a bnb, is doing quotes, either online or via email. The percentage conversion is low in the off season as many guests shop around, so when we get a booking conversion it feels like you've hit the jackpot, which is what happened yesterday with 50% of next month being booked by a new batch of students and some business guests, so that was great :)
I also made my sandwich for SteemitSandwichContest, and woke up this morning to a surprise curie upvote, felt truly blessed!
So today we gave ourselves the day off and drove up to Waterfall, a beautiful little village on the upper Highway, to see our friends @artywink & her sculptor husband Peter and guess who we bumped into?
It was none other than president Donald Trump, right there in the artist's home. He surprisingly did not utter a word, most unlike him, just stood absolutely still with his shock of hair and arm waving ;)
Peter did a real good job with this little sculpture, and I hope my good friend @artywink will tell us the story and the inspiration behind this work of art.
Nothing more exciting happened this week.
I do hope to read your #ulog here one of these days, an awesome way to diarise your daily life.
Check out this post which explains the #ulog movement.
Quoted from that post:

Hi @vanzyl, thanks for the great comments, wondered where you were! Will check it out, you should try joining #teamsouthafrica on Discord, a number of South Africans there supporting each other!
Suggest you also enter @jaybird's SteemitSandwichContest, make something typical South African braai broodjie/ pancake with savoury filling etc etc, a great community there and you're guaranteed to make some bucks, but check out his blog, ie your post must have at least one validation sign and you need to reply with your link in his weekly contest announcement post.
Good luck!

STOPWow, I didn't know you run a b n b business. That's something new I never knew about you! You deserve the upvote by curie, it's a amazing entry. I can see it's takes a lot of heart and effort to make that sandwich
Thank you @alansthoughs, we started the bnb about a year before I retired from the corporate world, loving it, we get to meet such awesome people and supplementing our income at the same time.
That sandwich was delicious but pales next to your awesome creations.
I found another great tag today, mostly for art posts but they also look at food art, perhaps try it if you like. Was started by @stellabelle, it's #slothicorn & that account is also @slothicorn. I'm going to give it a go.
End of my long story :):)
That's very helpful @illeze, thanks! it's really nice that you're meeting so many nice people!
Terrible to have geyser problems..my worst nightmare. Hope all is sorted now. @lizelle
Fortunately it was sorted out the day it burst, I was most impressed with the insurance. It was a nightmare when it happened though ;)
What a relief that you had an insurance in place..huge outlay, if not! @lizelle
If you had to foot the bill..it would have made matters worse! Glad the ordeal is over @lizelle
