FILL 'ER UP

New filter installed

Pump jazzed up

Pool bed cleaned

Mum's murals touched up.

Now for the 4 days it takes to fill.

The fun comes as it rises and we use it as a paddle pool.

Weather: While on the subject of pools, cool dips and curtseying daughters with trays of drinks and sweetmeats from Araby, note the blazing sunshine in the photos. Zounds, I hope the tourists are applying sunblock galore

Londoners especially: I hear it's 31º back in The Big Smoke.

Εhευ! Long live Corfiot weather!

As you see, someone forgot to arrange the stones tastefully around the pot on the crate, so - when the sun's abated and it's cool enough to enter - I shall be wading in and doing my Martha Stewart bit with the rockery.
