WHO NEEDS PLANTS?

So.... we were going to put lots of pretty plants around the outside of the pool, to soften the look. 

But, first of all I thought, why not see if I've got enough bits 'n' bobs to pretty it up first?

Plants???

ABOVE: Nope, no plants!  Just me concrete fish and a few other things like shells and a wooden anchor!
And it looks lovely.  Well, I think so anyway.  And now it won't matter if water is splashed over... it ain't gunna kill anything!  *smiles*

After my first swim yesterday, I ended up getting in again with Lacy, Griffin and Stew. It was wonderful.  Cold to begin with, but just perfect after a little while!

It's going to be awesome for getting some exercise this summer, AND staying cool.

ABOVE:  It was so neat having him outside with us, instead of in his room in the dark, watching a TV screen!

Today:  Well I got all the Christmas presents wrapped or bagged yesterday (go me!... with a little help from Brylee)... so today I would like to get the tree and decorations up in the lounge.

I always dread doing the tree, but really, once you start, it's not that horrendous a job.
Said no one in particular.  *smiles*

After that I shall probably take a break for lunch.

Yeah, I should hang out some washing too... that shit never ends.

ONWARD...

AND... IT'S DONE...

AND ... here's a bonus:



COS... I can.

7 pm:  my evening plans changed cos of the weather.  We were going on an FBG walk, but we've had really shit rain and thunderstorms so I cancelled it.  And right now?  It's not raining at all.  Grrrrr.  So typical.

So, a quiet evening here, watching TV... catch ya tomorrow.
