So after the weathermen said, in June, that it was gonna rain for the next 10 years I decided not to bother this year.
Then just to annoy said weathermen the UK suddenly experiences the best weather in like a million years. The sun comes out and record temperatures occur. And paddling pools become as hard to buy as sledges are on that day in January when it snows a lot.
Until today.
My lovely sister managed to locate one for us. She arrived this aft with her kids, their swimmers and our shiney new paddling pool.
I will gloss over the fact that the sun didn't come out, it was ever so slightly a little bit chilly, the kids argued over the hose pipe and no-one actually got in the damned thing.
We have a new pool. That's all that counts.
that illustration is just me this last 2 weeks, I bought my kids one of those overground pools with a pump,son decided its cold, daughter doesn't like "leaves" in it so i have sat in it in peace every day about 3pm :) no doubt that will end now school has done ;/
ReplyDeleteOurs is full of dead creatures - flies etc even with a cover on it - takes half an hour with a sieve to get them all out before we can go in! YUK! And to be honest the blue plasticness upsets my garden karma.....
