Back at last

Well haven't been blogging for awhile,so here goes.
My family went to the States to visit my other family there and a great time was had by all.
I looked after their house and dog,and yes she was as wide as she is long when they came back, but heck she likes to eat!What can i say?
Interestingly AS USUAL it teemed rain most of the time they were away,don't know what it is about them going to the States but every time they do it pours the whole time,not just light rain but cyclonic heavy rain!!!
The pool got full to the top,Dave was away so guess who along with 2 neighbours had to TRY to backwash the pool,it was hilarious as none of us were pool savvy! We did eventually do it.
Then we had a storm that blew over the huge pot and plant, smashed it and it was hanging over the pool, to top it off the pool pump died!!!
I must admit I was relieved when they came home and the pool WASN"T green!
all well now Anth is home and the pump is renewed and the pool very much in use.
