Blarg!

September 7, 2005 by

Morning all (just), I am struggling today … there has been a terrible flu going around Sydney of late, which 3 of my 4 flatmates have had and I am determined NOT to get … despite the gorgeous day I am at work with a temperature and a chest which feels like elephants have been tapdancing … i am DETERMINED not to give in to the flu :) …

On a lighter note … i managed to get the rotten pool cleaner working this morning! Yes, the minutiae of life in the ‘burbs include having a rental house with 5 loos (one for each girl, VERY important) and a pool … which is fabulous but unfortunately our financial states do not run to having a pool boy so guess who’s cleaning it this month? Generally a job I quite enjoy to be honest, outside under the gumtree, skimming the surface, it actually is quite meditative, I’ve had quite a few good chats with God out there … but at present, the pool cleaner is being a complete pain, and therefore the bottom of the pool is covered in leaves. Not such a bad thing in summer when you can jump in and scoop them out … but now? the water temp is about 16C … I grew up swimming in cold pools in the mountains but 18C is about my limit I’m afraid. Oh well, domestic bliss would probably get boring after a while :). Still, it’s working now and hopefully will continue to do so tonight …

Shoe of the day: dark pink Mary Janes with 2 inch heels and round toes … possibly my favourite pair of shoes of all time. Miss Lisa’s gratuitous advice to girls with ‘robust’ feet … round toes make the feet look smaller and sexier …. if you’ve got canoes please don’t go for the pointy toes …

    You wimps. You need a good strong Brit to dive in and get those leaves out… that water’s positively boiling in comparison to swimming at the seaside in the UK. I’ll send Smudgelet over. Please remind him to close his mouth before diving, though, or you may end up with no water in the pool either.

    I think I’m fighting off the horrid flu as well. I feel so "bleh"!

    And I remember the pool-cleaning days of my youth. And falling in on the odd occasion in winter: our winters may be mild, but 15-16C water isn’t very inviting!
