It was time to drain the pool. I rigged up the pump with a long hose to start the slow process of emptying the water.
There is a moment of sadness because, for us it’s the end of our excuse to chill.
There was some activity in the garage, Kelli wanted to paint the top of the coffee table.
It was a warm day, maybe even a pool day under different circumstances.
It was a lazy day, I moved some pallets that have been stacked at the side of the garage for a year or so, I hadn’t found the time to break them up. Matt was looking for some that he could use to fence in a space for their puppies to run around now that they are moving in with Georgia.
It was a dirty job, and we only managed to fit three into the back of the truck. Maybe tomorrow we’ll move the other one.
There was drama in Holland in the early hours which included a shooting, a high speed car chase that ended with the two occupants dying.
All this happened fairly close to us, but we heard no police sirens or anything.
Like most of the roads around here they are straight, the one they were on had a tight bend at the end and obviously they didn’t realise that.
Out of a morbid curiosity, we drove along the road and saw the tree they hit, fortunately it was not badly damaged.
Brenda, Matt’s wife was on that road, at around 2.30am when this all happened, she could not sleep and decided to take a drive to the nearest petrol station for some cigarettes and a cup of cocoa, yes it was unusual, but she is from the Netherlands, so quite understandable.
