Got the lad a new lifejacket for odd weekends we go on the water..... or end up with a flood he'd just about outgrown this one...

He loved floating in the paddling pool in it next up need him a new wetsuit for next year's holidays... Again warm if you end up in the drink....

New jacket £16 delivered 100n CE approved don't get used much but handy to have

Always good to have to correct gear when on or in water
As most of you will know from my posts I swim
Every day ... love being in the water
See it all though
Today a woman who seemed new came in
Swim cap designer goggles thermal swim costume
Must have cost her a fortune
Jumped in 6foot end . Couldn't swim
Drown alarm ...all out of pool ...
Rescue her
Back in ...

All the gear and no idea
At least your kids will know Andy
You dont just buy it and show it off

You can't make it up... Which is why from Been little we had him in the jacket and floated him round the pool dropped him in and let the life jacket flip him over to the point he wanted it doing again again and again as the huge open gob grin shows he can swim just got him going and theyve shut the local pool for several years to refurbish it least a month's time we are off all inclusive with a pool so he can go swimming again

This new vest has a grab handle on the back which comes in handy got on the pontoon asked him if his new life jacket worked and picked him up by the Handle and belt as if I was going to throw him in the river ... Plonked him back down AGAIN DAD! I do make a rod for my own back sometimes

You can't make some people up can you least it wasn't the nutter in the showers returning


Least the lifeguards were on it a guy I know used to go audit big chain pools at holiday parks he sacked 3 lifeguards within 3 minutes of laying facedown in the pool not one spotted him or attempted a rescue which err well doesn't do good in that line of work

Not checked my first aid dates for a while. Couple of things a bit out of date, put them on my shopping list. I keep them on spread sheets, so don't need to examine everything. Saves loads of time. However it is good to double check by examining everthing once in a while, to make sure.

Emptied, moved and refilled two 110 litre water butts. Moved two galvanised bins of anthracite.

Tomorrow I move my wood and possibly my wood store

New wipers arrived ready for winter

2 sets for the wife's car and a new rear wiper

A set for mine (I've a set spare in the shed for mine already). £18 delivered the lot...

It’s easy to forget the wipers, they work hard this time of year, spare set in each motor.

I also use Rain-X repellent, really helpful on side windows.

Can't fault tayna batteries on the prices for wipers for the price of one set of Halfords own I got that lot

Had a set on my car for about a year and still clearing the screen well .......

Considering Iran is currently flinging loads of missiles at Israel, I reckon the price of petrol is away to go through the roof so I’m off to go fill the car.

£128.9 a litre for unleaded in Edinburgh.

It will be interesting to see what it is tomorrow
