Guess what we did this weekend

So... the pool is finally full!... after about 36 hours it is at the right level... it looks pretty good, even in the shade:


The water is really, REALLY cold at the moment because it gets chilly at night and the sun isn't on the pool long enough to warm it up much... that didn't stop us... this the favorite mode of entry at the moment (trying to ease your way into the water is a losing proposition!):

This isn't a great photo but you get an idea of the response to the cold water - it's a shock to the system!... After swimming (a bit) on Friday, Saturday and Sunday I think we're both ready for a stint on the Deadliest Catch - those wussies wear survival suits when they jump in the cold water - we wear bathing suits! :-)

This week we get everything started up - pumps running, chemicals in... can't wait for next weekend!

I'll give the jump an 8 for level of difficulty and artistic impression :)

Maybe you'd re-think your score if you knew that she had already been in the pool once and so she knew how cold it was!!

It looks great. Though if it is that cold you would honestly have to throw me in! I see my spot on one of the red chairs catching rays and watching you two freeze your bums off!
