Top off!

After our Chambre d’hôte guests left this morning we decided we would head up to the pool to get it ready to be closed for winter. The sun was out, but it was a bit chilly, so I put my boots and winter down jacket on. I also took us some coffee and pastries to have for elevenses. When I got up there Brian had already started to clean the leaves off of the cover. We soon had it clean and pulled back so that I could start scooping the leaves out of the pool. It was really starting to warm up by this point. ‘Shall we stop for coffee?’, I suggested. I really didn’t need my down jacket, and I was now getting too hot in my sweatshirt.

When we started back on the final clean of the pool, I said, “It’s no good, I need to take this sweatshirt off, it’s boiling!”. Brian said, “Here take my t-shirt”.

We had gone up to the pool dressed for winter, and came down dressed for summer, who would believe it’s nearly November.
