Dog walk on the beach and with my old dog in his hire disability wagon which he loves. Probably his last trip to Cornwall so he’s getting spoilt (apart from the doggy dementia moment where he went for a paddle into the stream just as a huge wave rolled up the beach and muggins had to wade in up to his thighs to point him back to the shore as he was determined to head out to sea! ).

Shooting well at archery tonight.

3 arrows from me and 3 from my shooting partner.

Only 20 metres indoors but still chuffed.

But last 6" wouldn't shift as below the pump room level.
So me and neighbour cobbled together the pump from fountain. Didn't have relevant connections so was held in place by lots of lockwire and hope.
Ready to fit the top trim tmrw.

Similar job here. Drained ours as having a water loss issue which the pool guy thinks is the pipework leading the the water inlets. Coming tomorrow to test pipework and prepare for replacement.

Pool man delivers me bad news after pressure testing.
Buried pipe from plant room to pool has gone pop, probably on an old galvanised fitting somewhere - going to have to lift patio and pool surround to replace the complete run. Kerching!!!!!

Got it the new border on and will look much better until we get the new posh liner in a couple of years

I've got me mankini at the ready for when it's refilled and up to temp.

Have considered that - will see what the quote comes back at.
Our pool guy will do as a 'private' job, as he did with our ASHP, so hoping not too many ££££s

Dog walks and dodging storm Agnes which was mildly blowy and a little damp (another over egged weather event.

Dipped my toe into facebook market place, sold my smoker, pulled toe back out.
I'll be buggered six ways since Sunday if I entertain the idea of dealing with the dreggs of society again.

Can they not run a liner pipe through it?

I made, waited while it chilled for half an hour and then ate (all to myself) a full Butterscotch Angel Delight.

Ooh. Forgot about that. Might take a couple of weeks for sun to warm up.

Possibly but may as well replace it, at least it should.last a good few years....

Dropped $6 for tonight's $850,000,000 lottery & $4 for Friday's pittance of a mere $267,000,000.
