Swimming Pool Woes

    The pool guy came on Monday and now the pool is blue-ish but still murky. I can't see the bottom even at the shallow end. My regular chemical check was today and they put in more shock ("super shock" they called it) and told me what to do if it's still not clear by tomorrow. I hope I don't have to make another call as each one costs me! Also, it was quite hot today and I would have loved a swim after tennis and again after some gardening, but it is still too soon to go back in. 

    A good morning at tennis. It was quite busy but I still managed two sets (they are short sets - just 8 games). I could have played more but it was getting quite hot and I had had enough of socializing over coffee between play.

   I have finished my current book, "The Huntress" by Kate Quinn which I enjoyed very much. She also wrote "The Alice Network" which we read at book club recently. I have now started "Recursion" by Blake Crouch and so far am reserving judgement on it. It came highly recommended so we shall see.

The gecko came out while I was typing - probably curious about this intruder in its sanctuary! It is almost always hiding in its cave.
