The Pool: Slightly Shady

February 8, 2013



Almost done ...The new umbrella is now in place but have you noticed something different about it? I mentioned here that I had come home from IKEA with this umbrella. Well somebody (not me, and yep, male) decided it wasn't big enough and so back to IKEA we went. Of course the umbrella we then came home with was a more expensive one, so the purchase wasn't quite the bargain it started out as, but still not too bad. I'm off for an after work swim before spending tomorrow cleaning up and putting all the furniture out on the deck and making things pretty. Enjoy your weekend!

  1. A bit of extra shade is probably not a bad thing! It's all looking fabulous, and an after work swim sounds lovely..... also love the frog makeover - great fun! Every garden needs a little humour (as long as he doesn't start to attract a lot of garden gnomes, you'll be fine!) xx

    1. Ha ha, hopefully no gnomes appear - although you never know what might be at the bottom of the garden!
