Hubby and I uncover it before swimming and cover it back up when we get out of the water. Takes 2 minutes or less. The cover is attached to a big spool. He turns the crank and I guide the cover across the pool. It's like a giant piece of thick blue bubble wrap!

We might have to do that....The cover is 20 years old....The guy who covered it told us to get another
one next year...It's a big pool...

Didn’t do much until about 11 am, when a huge explosion rattle the windows and shook the house. A chemical plant, about a mile east of us, blew its top. I ran out and took the first picture and the second picture was in my news section this morning:

OMG Pappy, that's way too close for comfort !! You should sell that picture to the media..

I hope no-one was hurt, at the plant, and equally none of you are suffering from the inhalation of smoke in your neighbourhood
 
I'm sitting here now waiting to leave for my appointment at 3pm at the hair & beauty salon to get my hair cut and my face beautified.:D. lord alone knows I need it.. . Haven't had anything done since pre lock-down in March!.. it's all a mess.. I'm going to get my hair cut into a Bob... it's so fine it looks like rats tails.. so I need to get it looking a little healthier
 
Goodness Pappy. That’s quite the explosion. Great photo though. I do hope this doesn’t negatively affect your health.

Today I’m taking the girls for their walk, then I’m heading out to get some ginger shampoo. That’s the problem with having ultra thick hair - scalp issues. Apparently this ginger shampoo works. My shedding is a bit too much lately so I am excited to try this.
 
This morning my friend,Mary&I are going on our weekly'road trip', today its Target.I'm looking for a floor lamp.In the past I have bought 2 floor lamps that are inexpensive from the store. I'll ck out any books that look interesting to buy
Mary's birthday is today I got her a gift certificate from Kohl's.{she doesn't know about} I can never repay her for suggesting the 'road trips'which began in April,this is my way of thanking her She's lived here in the apt complex for almost as long as I have{32yrs}.We're friends but I never did anything with her because she's still working,I'm retired .I enjoy her friendship&company,we laugh alot on the 'road trips
 
How frightening about that chemical plant! I’m enjoying the arrival of a record breaking cold front late yesterday & overnight. Went from record 96F at the airport yesterday to record 42F this morning. Feels wonderful to be cold! There were high winds & some power outages and trees down but my part of town not affected. Rain expected, snow in northern mts. Might go out later to get some things to cook a big pot of stew. Haven’t wanted to keep the stove long enough to do that for months. Temp will crawl back up to 80 or so by end of week.
 
We went to the Chiropractor...My husband goes every Friday...He was hurting from
the Spring...He is doing well now....He was hunched over for a couple of month's...

So I finally went....I have a bad shoulder...for many many years....Only went once to
a Lady chiropractor....She didn't do anything to help...So that was around 5 years ago.
I'm now going to my husband's chiropractor....He showed what was wrong with me...
Not nice....Hopefully he can fix me....He said at my age it would be a Hospital stay
It's that bad....NO GO FOR ME in Hospital....

How did it all go Mr Ed?... did you suffer much after pain ?
Click to expand...
No pain no gain, No actually yesterday was fine, I had to stay late because a resident fell and hit his head. EMT was called and transported to the ED.

Today was much different. We have staff meeting Wednesdays. We are short staffed and a kid from another program was helping out. The problem was there were no workstations I could sit at. Meanwhile the kid promoting all things relevant to high & mighty of I have no patience for.

The new head of HR paid a visit to meet the staff. When it came my turn I she asked what was on my mind. I replied since my supervision was cancelled you’re it and went on to unload all things related to my distraught, She asked how do I deal with anger in the work place, I replied I go to my supervisor if it is something I cannot manage.

I was exhausted when I got home, all I could do sit down and rest in complete silence, then I was ok
 
Today it's been eclectic... doing bits here, bits there.. got my hair cut into a Bob yesterday, and I keep catching sight of myself and not realising it's me :LOL: I can't get used to it at all.. Got roast dinner made...( pork sausages, onion gravy, roast potatoes, Yorkshire puddings, and broccoli )

Cleaned out the top freezer in the fridge freezer in the kitchen , and swapped some frozen food from the upright freezer in the barn to the chest freezer in the shed, and froze 3 pounds of fresh lamb chops .

Hubs is doing some last minute painting in my new office room behind the door ..and today I hung 3 pictures there, and added 2 pot plants..

I also got 2 boxes of stationary cleared out and stored into one large box instead of 2..

Spoke to my doctor about some concerns I have for my health, and his secretary made an appointment for me to be at the hospital tomorrow morning ..
 
Oh I forgot to say , it looks like the elder of my grandfurkids.. Stanley who is 13.. may have the beginnings of dementia. It's been a concern for a few weeks now.. but today when he was having his bath which he always take stoically, he barked and barked at my daughter, like he didn't know her, and wouldn't be calmed by her, then when she lifted him out onto a dry towel he would usually roll on the towel and dry himself, but instead he ran like a thing possessed for a few minutes as if he didn't know where he was before settling back down to normal again.. Daughter has him booked into see the vet on Saturday

That's sad to hear. I hope there are meds for his behaviour. Hopefully, he is otherwise physically okay.

well, we're hoping so too, Pinks .. depending on the diagnosis of course, but the previous labradoodle suffered the same way, so this will be the second time my daughter has gone through this. he's otherwise physically healthy for a 13 year old except for the loss of a little back muscle strength, so he finds it a little more difficult to climb up onto the sofa...being so little as well..( he's only 10 inches tall).. so my DD got him a step, but he's ignoring the step at the moment, and then yelping when he jumps down onto the floor..

This is him with his elder brother scruffy who died last year at the same age as stan is now... there was only a year between them one was the size of a red setter, the other is a miniature ( different parents)... but scruffy would let stanley do anything to him lol

I took these photos when one was 18 month and the other 6 months
