instant Pool shade

what you got on the bottom of the pool?

under the pool i have sand ,
in the pool i have a 5 gallon bucket full of grout( cement ) to hold the beach umbrella for shade on a 100 f day

Looks like tiles. Very pretty.

That's the print on a "plastic" liner.

Trying to sell the 'rents on the concept of marinated food.
My previous results have not been wholly successful I admit.
Not disasters, but nothing special. Like with the controversial and expensive slow-cooked pork; simply not amazing enough to justify the effort or price.

So this time I've used a shop-bought marinade.
And we're using up Diz-cats uneaten chicken wings.
I don't mean his leftovers, I mean the pack of defrosted wings I will not feed him after he tried to kill himself on Mayday. M'aidez indeed.

Anyway, tasting it (BEFORE it came into contact with raw chicken!) it's all good.
It now has approx 24 hours to yummy itself up.
Oops, say 22-ish because I didn't apply it this hour, but I do have to cook it.

And what else?
Sorry, so boring, but....
School tomorrow! Start a new programme with the Lamb - a whole new series of 1:1's to develop and progress with. And of course back to Tiger, although my language 1:1 work is winding down and it's mostly working on social and emotional issues - a lot of which are observational.

Gotta really get the hang of social stories before the summer holidays.
From not being able to think of any, I have two which have been bubbling under all half-term. I'm just waiting for input from the Speech Therapist (who I'll see soon) because I'm terrified of getting them wrong.

But happy happy joy joy anyway.
Chicken and school and school and chicken!

I got in some bicycle riding this weekend - about 94 miles and 4100 feet ascent.

are you high?

how many feet down?

making me happy today is my progress in the backyard thanks to the inspiration from zippyt. I don't have the pool setup, but it is habitable now.

Thanks zippyt!

Raking in the veggies from the garden. Good to eat what you grow.

chuckles is salted and scraped, it's my first one not sure if I went too far or not. Now it is in the lime water de-hairing solution.

Picking up brains tomorrow. Need to come up with a smoker next.

I got a perfect score on my first Anatomy test.

Jokes about carnal knowledge aside, it feels really good to be hardcore memorizing crap again. I enjoy it way too much.

Congrats!

Excellent!
