various

another weekend of domesticness which is kezia’s favourite thing (shown here wearing her pedometer on her pyjamas for a school challenge she’s doing)

jane went for a run, i completed our visa forms which we need to submit on Friday and we did some box sorting in the garage which then needed poking through the new loft hatch.  we’ve nearly filled the roof but haven’t made much in roads in to the box pile.  ooops.

in other news i went to the pool shop with kezia and we bought a new long pokey stick, some replacement pipes for ‘Barry’ the pool cleaning machine and a pool thermometer.

the pool is actually not too cold despite it not being particularly hot outside yet.  Kezia is the temperature monitor and said it was 20 degrees which might be true as it wasn’t unpleasant putting the pipes together.  we’re going to get a man from the pool shop to talk us through how everything works, give us a valet and replace the sand filter with glass (nope, i’ve no idea either)

we had our new couches (sofa’s) delivered today too.  which made for excellent sitting during the rugby games this evening.  kezia and i watched the Wales / Ireland game and we all watched the first half of the England / France one, and just jane and me for the second half.  we found ourselves wanting france to win which was interesting.

Ah, and jane also did loads of tidying for our paying visitor who arrives from the UK tomorrow.
