Pool cleaner

Today I wanted to get the pool area ready for summer. I needed to finish painting the pool room doors, and then clean the window panes.

They looked so much better with their new colour and final coat of paint. Louise our Workaway had done a great job on preparing them, and getting the first coat on.

I then got on with cleaning the inside of the pool house and its little summer kitchen, and then mopping the floor.

Brian was on pool cleaning duty. The pool guy had shocked it and rebalanced things, but Brian needed to remove a lot of leaves and bugs. He scooped the worst out with his long net, but the smaller material he needed help with.

We’d bought a new pool robot this year, so he was keen to see how it performed. It’s so much lighter than the last one, far easier to pop in and out and to clean afterwards. It did a very good job of getting all the winter muck up, so we were very pleased with it. A few more days of cleaning and it should be ready for a dip.

Definitely looking forward to having my first swim now.
