New swimming pool

Unfortunately our new swiming pool drained away overnight before I could install the heating unit or add the chlorine. At least the house seems to have avoided any major damage and the LRP kit in the shed may be damp but at least it is still intact. We had to leave the gate prop phys reps out in the garden to allow a free passage through the shed for water.

All in all it seems we have escaped lightly from the flood. Though less lighlty than one may expect from the fact we live on top of a hill....

Back to school

So, tomorrow I leave this life of idle leisure and enter enrol in a world of hard work and pain. The world of teaching. Well, first I have to be taught but in six weeks time I will be back in a classroom corrupting the minds of the next generation (which is a service I provide for free, I charge for the other aspects of the job).

Disappointed that I am somewhat ill equipped for my first day back at school. Despite all her efforts, Sarah has been unable to get me a Garfield  back pack, pencil case, lunch box and three ring binder. All the other kids will laugh at me for being so uncool and I may get beaten up behind the bike shed again...
