Went out to check how the pool was doing yesterday. It’s been there a week and no-one has yet ventured into it because of the awful weather we’ve been having. After all the rain last week, there was quite a large puddle collected in the top of the makeshift cover (an old polythene dust sheet weighted at each corner and held around the pool by the garden hose).
Having emptied the contents of the cover out onto the lawn, I figured that maybe wasn’t such a good idea after all because the lawn was as wet as the inside of the pool!
Maybe the weather will pick up somewhat this week and the kids will actually get some use out of it.
