Big plans of accomplishing great things this week on the back of a wave of fantastic news, success and joys, but then we discovered a black pool of algae under the cover... literally. So I scrubbed and scrubbed and I scrubbed all the crap away while Russ sucked it up in the pool vacuum.
Now I'm laid up in bed with a sprained/strained back and I'm all sad face about me and my aches and pains. All was going well with nice gardens planted and the pool fence rerouted so that there's ample play space for the whole family to run, wheel, play and access the trampling... And we had plans to BBQ the weekend away in liesure but then we lifted the cover on the interested swimming pool... A black pool of algae.
And that's how our weekend of free0time turned into a time of work. Tip to self: keep an eye on swimming pool - even in the winter, and more regularly than every 2 weeks.
Over the worst of it, and it was all work w=for our own benefit, so "get over it" and smile for another day, I say. The pool is already looking clear again and somewhat more inviting than when we pulled the cover back, so onwards and forward to spring and then summer!
