Best laid plans, etc, etc, sometimes just don't happen. Apparently the outdoor pool was open on Saturday and Sunday, but come Monday, the chemicals were out of whack, and until that got resolved, Beth couldn't open the outdoor pool. Everyone coming to swim outdoors ended up indoors, and that led to a VERY crowded indoor pool. On Tuesday, when I arrived, the outdoor pool was still not able to be open, but the people from other pools had learned. When they heard the outdoor pool was still not open, they turned around, got back into their cars, and headed to other locations.
That actually led to a very nice and rather empty indoor pool, where I had a delightful, uncrowded swim. I suspect the chemical issues have been resolved by now, however, and that the outdoor pool will once again be open and we will be crowded. Yes - we get crowded at 5:00 am in the morning! That outdoor pool is a magnet for swimmers and will call them to swim throughout the remainder of the summer months. I'll get used to being crowded - I might share with Rosemary often in the first lane. We've shared a lane on and off for more than a decade, I think we can handle it.
On Monday, we had gotten a deep rain and noticed that our gutters were overflowing. *sigh* Time for DH to get onto a ladder and clean them out. So he did that yesterday, although he was afraid he might frighten or be attacked by Mama Robin and her little ones. Fortunately, there were no attacks and everyone seems to have survived the experience. I'll check on them later today through the window and see how they're doing. The chicks are getting big, and really crowding their little nest - LOL.
So I've got my first load of laundry in the washer, I have my swimming stuff packed and ready to go, and I'm set for the day. Have an excellent Wednesday and I'll be back tomorrow. I think I'll cook up a batch of vegetable soup for my next week's dinners. Yummers! LOL Slava Ukraini.
