It was lovely to see Emily and Liam last night. Their Dad Andrew brought them over for dinner.
They loved the meal, I do believe we all did.
We probably have another month of swimming before it starts to get too cold. 😫😭😞
This morning I am going to work on those two funky bird runners. Then Stew and I will go somewhere nice for lunch.
Maybe a walk too... that will depend on the weather. Hoping it's cloudy like yesterday so we can.
CATCH YA LATER...
ABOVE: 11.50 am, and that one's done.
Now its lunchtime and we are at a cafe in Chartwell Square. Having a 'Big Breakfast ' ... should be good.
Then we will head home to enjoy a couple of hours in and out of the pool.
Do ya want the 'very nice review'?
Or the accurate one?
Yeap... let's have the accurate one shall we?
Eggs - perfect and hot.
Sausage, bacon, mushrooms - Luke warm at best. Cooked prior and just reheated. Mushrooms had far too many dry herbs in the mix. Was yuk. Stew ate mine.
Hash Brown - perfect, nice and hot.
Half a tomato - nice and hot.
Baked Beans - cold!
Sourdough Bread - Not bad, hard to cut, but you expect that.
They were generous with the tomato sauce and butter.
So on a whole I'd give it a 5/10, but only just.
We shall try somewhere different for our next Big Breakfast.
After lunch we went and bought these:
We are home now, and I might just lie in the sun and have a swim for a while.
And she is doing so well. Gaining weight, starting to coo and smile... growing new hair. Hard to tell what colour it will end up, probably strawberry blonde.
The pool is decidedly cooler today. Our nights are getting cooler, so that is affecting the pool's temperature.
It was still lovely, but I can feel how it's gunna start getting cooler and cooler soon. *sniff*... which means swimming will stop in the next few weeks. But then, I will be able to start walking again. And while I hate walking, it's needed to keep my weight in check.
Right, I'm done for the day, I'm struggling to stay awake at only 9.55 pm!
Catch ya tomorrow.
The pool does look inviting. Why not singlet ot tshirt and shorts for spares that will fit most if they forget their togs.
ReplyDeleteSo glad the pool is getting a workout this summer. I remember your weather last year was dismal for swimming. Ky Girl

ReplyDeleteOur neighborhood pool was unheated. They had a solar cover.
ReplyDeleteActually it was a series of covers, for each section. The solar covers were very effective. They took it all on and off manually. It sort of looked like a massive sheets of bubble wrap (used here for packing).
It held the heat in during the night, the sun warmed the water as soon as it came up each morning.
The water was never hot. It kept it from being cold early in the season and late in the season.

The food looks yummy. Too bad it wasn't as good as it looks. Those are Micro-greens. Super nutritious. And trendy. We have grown some before but don't really know what to do with them all when they are all ready at once.
