Son in law has just set up the mini swimming pool* in their garden, and although it’s not heated yet, dd just sent a video of Gds and a friend cavorting in it!
What’s the betting that the weather will shortly turn cold again??
*Its 6th season already - they acquired it during the first lockdown when all public pools were closed, so it’s done very well.

I’m glad they’re out enjoying it.
The weather will probably turn cold again, so make the most of it. It’s still only April, but if it doesn’t rain soon, the news will be full of threats about hosepipe bans.

The weather is set fair and 17 degrees or more for the next couple of weeks here in the West country so hopefully your grandson and his friends will have plenty of fun in their pool.

My sister has just had solar panels fitted so has guaranteed no sun this summer!

Yes, I've washed all my winter jumpers ready to put away. Again. It's bound to get cooler again.

Yes just sorted summer stuff out and put Winter tops, trousers etc away. Never mind, there will soon be something else to moan about soon. I’m dreading the heat wave 😂

We’re on holiday in a couple of weeks so currently emptying greenhouses and telling the house plants and bedding plants to ‘toughen up’ and they will be fine outside soon. Bound to be a frost shortly😩

I have decided not to tempt fate, so I have not turned the outside tap on yet, and have been lugging watering-cans around in consequence!
