Today I finally got the pool warm enough to swim in. It was not warm, mind you: just warm enough. So my youngest and I spent nearly an hour in the pool, shivering and playing ball. (Well, okay, the last bit was spent in the jacuzzi, warming up and playing 20 Questions. But you know what I mean.) This is perhaps the latest in the year we’ve waited since we moved in here, but the weather this year has been pretty abysmal. I’ve complained a bit about the rain, which has been pretty miserable, but of course the rain has affected the temperature as well. Normally I can’t get through March without being tempted to crank up the pool heater. But this year it’s been getting cold at night pretty much every night until just this week. So there wasn’t much point till now.
So, climate change is screwing us, but we’re gonna go down fighting. We’re paying for a pool, and, dammit, we’re going to swim in it. Weather be damned.
