Afternoon folks:).

Been a bit absent in my posts but been watching.

Been busy and its been ot alot of ot:)
Bit late with the pool but its open a couple of days ago, topping up the water put some salt and start up stuff in, shark has been in for a few cleans. Summer cover tommoz to get the heat in it, 18 at the mo.

Also trying to tell BG builders "that's not how its done":rolleyes:. Builders are doing the bathroom of our friends house. Been there today to put electrics in (although she doesnt know what she needs) so she has got what I did. Even remembered "you have a light in the cabinet you brought" so now you can have that working:rolleyes:,

All go here, but its early morning or late afternoon work time.

That'll teach you to do it this time of year!!!
We are contemplating the pool as well, since we had a couple of days where it got to the high 20s but as we know it'll rain for the next week or so, no point in putting salt in just for it to dilute.
Wot chemos do you put in?
We don't need to usually, just a few bag of salt, which puts the Ph OK. Although last year we had to kill a bit of algae for the first time ever.
Wot is your summer cover, bubble wrap type stuff?
 
So we took them to the beach.
Parking nearby needed cash or payment by phone? That was fun as I had no cash.
Kids got expensive ice-creams.
1 sat and sulked the whole time while the other went straight in paddling.
After about 40 minutes sulky-chops was moaning "I want to go home".
Not fair on the one enjoying the beach so we stayed another 40 mins then took them home again.

Tell them if they want to go home they have to buy more ice cream first ...

Nearest beach to you?
I remember as a kid going to Gravesend, we lived in Dartford.

I was the 1 that recommended the bubble wrap to you ;), so once on it will warm in a few days. Prediction is 20 by Wednesday.
Start up we put fast chlorine in, and some "big tablets" in the shark. Its a boost to get it going before the salt chlorinator can catchup. PH minus too will go in soon. The chemical chlorine dissipates fast in the sun its just start up.
