A First!!!.

Woohoo, finally the pool was ready to swim in for the first time this year. We took the cover off last week to find a lovely colour green but not appealing water, ick! Hubby did a great job getting it ready.

The water temp sounds good at 80 degrees but it is bloody freezing, Lumpy had no problem with it and assured me it was fine once you got used to it. His Dad on the other hand was a complete wimp about it and only got in a couple of times, the last one after he was shamed into a game of volleyball!! He is getting old hahah.

But my momment of pride today was watching Lumpy wrapped in his towel on the lounger reading Horrible Harry and the Green Slime by Suzy Kline. I am dead chuffed. He started it yesterday up to page 4 and he finished the book over the course of 3hrs this afternoon. It was sooo sooo cute, the three of us relaxing each reading contentedly, it was a first!!! Anyway I was reading I, Coriander by Sally Gardner (which is an absolute delight...... she has used one candle so far ) and hubby finished off The Triumph of the Sun by Wilbur Smith.

We still have not finished The Giggler Treatment, so no new book started yet. What with each of us reading it to him in turns I have no clue what is going on now, but Lumpy is enjoying it and still giggling here and there. He enjoys the ink/pencil illustrations by Brian Ajhar, of various sizes that occur on most of the pages, his favourite is on page 56 where Kayla has stones in her nappy!!
