A very sad Tragedy,

Empty the death trap untill the kids can swim!

on a lighter side,

few years back i was awoken by the sound of rain, thought thats odd as it was not forecast, then it really pelted down, as i sat uo there was a very loud whoosh! and i rushed ti the patio door, to see plant pots floating by and eater a foot up the door.

Daft reaction, i went to open the door and remembered just in time it was not a good idea.

Tops out we had a 15 foot pool on our patio, type with the air ring around the top. we think a fox or squirrel bit through the cover while after bugs and punctured it .

We were lucky in that thus door is a slide and tilt, often in summer we lock it tilted, but nit that night as we would have flooded throughout

A very sad Tragedy,

if taught, apparently kids can swim before they can walk, i like the fact a baby can hang from a washing supporting its own weight.

So why is it we don't use this to our advantage? Nappy gets filled, into pond/pool for a rinse, baby hang from washing line until nappy dried - sorted .
