More Spring Cleaning!

What a huge difference a couple of litres of chlorine and water make to removing the gunk off the pavers.  No they don't look like new I am afraid but they look superbly clean.  The build up of black gunk along the lines between the pavers and across some areas of the pavers themselves are all now 90% spick and span clean again.

But as the photo above shows, father time is beginning to have an effect on the sun blinds across the back of the house.  Several of the panels see the thread sewn joining them are disappearing.  This could mean a full removal and return to the factory to be resewn again.

The guy is coming out Friday afternoon and we will check out what we can do at the best cost efficient price.  In reality we only really need the first 2 blinds as we have discovered over the years.  The third and largest blind does get used but only a few times each year at the most.

So we wait to see what the possibilities are.

The new case was delivered today with a price tag on it of $269.  Now this is quite inflated of course but even at $96 delivered we reckon we have a great deal on an Antler brand suitcase.

At 21° the pool was a little brisk this morning when I had a brief swim.  But that is the second swim for the season now!
