New favourite

The stone around the pool was looking a bit blackened and tired. I had thought that maybe a good old scrub could do the trick but Brian suggested that maybe it was time we invested in a jet washer to give it a really good clean. So we decided to go and buy one from our local Weldom store. This morning after breakfast Brian’s first job of the day was to set it up. I’m not sure he realised he had to put the whole thing together. However he soon understood what he needed to do and built the ‘soon to be’ next favourite tool.

Unfortunately though, by the time we’d done a few other jobs that needed doing, loaded up the trailer, visited the tip, collected a couple of new umbrellas we had also purchased from Weldom that didn’t fit in the car, and then returned home, the heavens opened and we couldn’t get out to use it. However we did make it an excuse for an early dinner and a quiet glass of wine. We watched the rain falling onto the flourishing vines and making everywhere look so verdant and lush from the comfort of our kitchen window. As I sat there, taking in the view, I could hear the river below the window sloshing along. I’m sure we will get the stones at the pool cleaned tomorrow.
