POOL AND LOVIES... HIT REPEAT

 

ABOVE:  Stew doing the pool vacuuming last night.  I feel like we got a good amount of the calcium out ... but we won't really know until the sediment settles again.

Meanwhile, I will go out today and buy LIQUID Chlorine.  Then we will never have the calcium problem again.

When I get home I am going to make that last, pink LOVIE.

And then I want to go through all my runners and take out all the Christmas ones.  There is no point us taking them to market again till around October.

Our next market is on the 21st of January, and another on the 30th.  I'm praying like mad that the summer tropical storms are over by then!

I can't bear the thought of yet another wet market day.  Our last two were a bloody disaster weather wise.

One good job I got done the other day was to clean my washing machine.  It was starting to smell ikky, and leave some residue on the cleaned clothes.  So we bought a bottle of washing machine cleaner, something I've never used before.  And OMG it worked so well.  Very impressed.

So, if ya washing machine is a bit smelly, I highly recommend using a product specifically for cleaning ya machine.  We just got that one from the supermarket. (ABOVE)

And that's me for now... I'll catch ya later.

While at the Pool Shop the other day, I got talked into buying a bottle of 'Floc', to help settle the calcium to the bottom of the pool faster.

I didn't want to buy it, but was more or less told it was NECESSARY.  

I was told not to run it through our filter or it would ruin the sand, and we'd have to replace that as well.  Hmmm... so if you put it in your pool to resolve the calcium issue, but it's going to bugger up your filter??? She said to run the water out to 'WASTE', and it wouldn't get into the filter. 

(Really?   Like I'm not going to drain the entire pool of that shit am I?  Some must stay in the pool)

 

So after some lengthy 'persuasion', I bought it.  It was $78.

Then when I got home I realised that the calcium was settling ALL ON IT'S OWN, thank you very much.

So this morning I took it back.  The lady was very nice about it.  

I exchanged it for liquid Chlorine, so not a total waste of time.

But seriously, I'm now feeling like ya can't trust anyone who tries to push products on you that you really DON'T NEED.  We have had over two months of that with Para Rubber.

I am not going to get sucked into getting another damn chemical we don't need, that's for sure.  The 'Floc' was the last straw.

And why have you had to read all that shit?

Cos I don't want to forget.  This blog is like my daily diary, and everything gets put on it.

You just have to suffer through my daily crap.  Or bugger off.  Rather simple.  😂😅😋

Now I have a REALLY BIG container full of liquid chlorine in me car's boot.  I think Stew can get that out when he gets home.  It's 20 litres, so should get us through the rest of the summer.

And now... I'm gunna sew.  

AUDREY:  The liquid chlorine does not have UNDISSOLVED powdered CALCIUM in it, and that is the problem with the Granulated Chlorine we bought.  Just sayin'.

I worked on my jig saw for a good deal of the afternoon.  Then I made a meat loaf for our dinner.

Dinner was Meat Loaf, Smashed potato and lettuce salad.

Very nice, though the meat loaf is repeating on me, so maybe not so nice.

A quiet evening ahead, just watching the telly.

Catch ya tomorrow.

STILL RAINING!
