The "Segway" parade at "The Distillery District" Toronto

A remarkable form of transport. Here's their website ......

The views from here ......

Pools are a lot of work, especially one this size. This one's wooden, 16ft x 32ft and above ground. There's always something that needs doing. If I was starting from scratch again, I'd go for a much more modern type (steel and vinyl) and one that doesn't rot!!

Pooled my resources

A new deck (5/8" exterior ply), a bit of outdoor carpet, and a new pool blanket, and we're right for a few more years :-)


"Shit happens"

Starlings ......
Protected species or not, they do a great job of muck-spreading!!

"Blue and green should never be seen"

On days like today, that's one old saying I'll cheerfully ignore!
Yesterday and today's weather has been picture perfect (not that my pics are); 24' C and no humidity to speak of. My grandson's birthday party was at our pool, so it was a glorious weekend.
