Day 1 - I'm open!

Well what a miserable start to season 2019.

Firstly i was poorly sick, thanks for all the well wishes and get well soon, then the weather is the worst I've known for May in 19 years, overcast and chilly most days and freezing at night, good job i got the weather tents and heating.
The set up of the bar was quite painless this year, 3 days and all done, well almost, just got to paint the white part of roof and put new letters up then its finished.
The customers love the new look of the bar and i think its the most classy so far, its the bulbs that do it.

Everyone is saying that the resort is quieter this year so far (only 7 days in, JES!) but my first night was the same as all the others but there are more all inclusive rooms this year with more hotels giving up rooms to all inclusive instead of H B or B & B.
On the old road we now have Jurassic Park, when its a nice sunny day i will take a quick video of the entrance, it's got old Rexy behind the wooden doors or King Kong. Haven't ventured inside yet but as you know there are plenty of goats around if inside there is a petting pen for the dinosaur.

Not had a take away yet as still not 100% but god i can't wait to stuff my face with all the badness i can find and then flop on the sofa and collapsed in to a meat and tzatziki coma.

Lots of Dutch in the resort this year, not sure we'll be seeing any hash cake shops opening any time soon but there could be a opening for a orange clothing shop as every Dutch person i have met has had a piece of orange clothing.

Added the original Porn Star Martini to my menu this year, GOOD GRIEF, what an absolute pain in the arse. Douglas Ankrah who invited the drink must have had to much time on his hands, add this, shake that, float this, serve that. As you know i will only make a cocktail unless its to the original method and recipe, what a phaff and guess what i sold the most of so far.........yeah you guessed it.....bloody porn star martini. I can see that being the thorn in my side, the fly in my ointment, the shell in my egg mayo sandwich or the verruca plaster in a swimming pool, just a annoyance all round.

Will be stocking the Levante beers again this season from June but also i have Alpha Weiss which is a lovely beer, my favourite i think after drinking it all last season on my Saturday nights out.

No price changes you'll be glad to hear so that should keep you all happy and a few new cocktails to try, think i came up with another 5, can't remember now.

Can't wait till it gets warmer as this season I'm given myself more time during the day, not knocking myself  out rushing around the place getting stuff and doing favours, its all about me time, oh and me and Sian time while she's out here.

So Liverpool are in the champions league final and this year i will be closed on 1st June, didn't close last year for their final but this year i will be but just the one night, so if anyone wants to join me in Zakynthos town to watch it your more than welcome,

So there you go, a little update on the first couple of days but I'm hoping it will get warmer so i can get out and about and start Kevin the Minions adventures.

This year no food aid parcels are needed unless its black pudding, white pudding or muffins, i can now get crumpets and frosted shreddies on the island but if any food parcels do arrive i will be more than happy to accept it, of course food parcels will be reimbursed, never expect anything for nothing, cash or drinks will be exchanged LOL.

So until the next warmer update........

Serve All, Love All, Peace All, Kevlar Out!
