POOL COVER

Time for me to cover the pool.

I lay it out to hose down and dry.

While Poseidon is away shopping in Dubai, Athena takes advantage of getting on my case and sends all manner of idiot pals of maman to just drop in.

Today's is an 'exhibited artist' (and a poove, to boot), just over from Athens who rolls up and is not at all put off that I'm seul.

I'm hauling out the pool cover to dry on the postage stamp grass, such as it is.

"How interesting. You shield the lawn during the cold spell."
