A sunshiney hot day today. The boys and I played Junior Monopoly and they went on their tablets while I laid three slabs, a stepping stone and did some weeding.
We all had lunch (including Huffle), attempted to clean the pool and then the boys and I cycled to the tennis courts and had a few games of tennis.
It was really hot and we had no energy so we didn't last too long. We cycled home and went straight to the pool.
The boys went in and I sat and read and blew up the big rubber ring.
Later, Huffle came out and we tried to backwash the pool but once again it went off and wouldn't start again. Huffle opened it up and one of the wires was very fried. We contacted MrBasement for some help.
He suggested it would be okay as there is more than one Ground Wire and we backwashed, Rinsed and got it back working again. It is spluttering along, will it last the season?
I mowed the grass and the boys trampolined. There were a couple of incidents where Smallest got a bruised knee and Small got a foot in the eye. Huffle raked the grass and I attended to the eye patient. I put a bag of frozen blueberries on his eye and sent him to the sofa. Unfortunately, the bag opened and there were blueberries everywhere, all over our new sofas. Whoops. Luckily they are a dark grey and there was no staining (that we can see). However, he did get a blueberry tattoo on his back and one stuck in his belly button!
I made dinner with the help of everyone. Smallest made the couscous and Huffle squeezed the lemon and collected garlic chives (and was my sous chef, fetching and carrying), small collected salad leaves from the garden and washed them all and between us we made fish cakes with lemon Aioli. Very yummy.
After dinner we all played football down the bottom of the garden. (The football from yesterday was played by Smallest's team on another field but they forgot to inform us. Smallest was very disappointed his team played without him).
Showers, TV, bed!
