Husband is completely over his illness andI almost wish he was sick again because the whistling and general cheerfulness is ruining my mood.
Nothing I say or do seems to be denting his demeanour, its like living with Ant and fucking Dec.
My mood isn't great because my pool arrived today.
I say pool as though its some watery oasis ofmosaickedcharm, its not. It looks to be made of bluetarpaulinand tent poles. Still, itll do the do job. When I decided that I wanted a pool I wasnt unrealistic about the restrictions of budget and space- I knew I wasnt going to be able to have a free form pool dug into the ground or even an above ground one encased in smooth Swedish looking wood... Why then am I so disappointed?
Because I didnt expect it to look like a paddling pool, is why.
When I looked at the pictures online, there was a woman pictured tit height in water with her Husband and 2.4 children. It is clear to me now that these werent real people, or if they were, then they must have been bollocky midgets because theres no way that that this water will come past my kn-ankles, let alone my jubblies.
I dont even think therell be room for me to wear my arm bands and I know for a fact that the inflatable hippo with drinks holder is a no-go. Husband is more positive than me.
Itll be nice, you watch- well fill it with warmishwater and put potted plants around it.
Id rather die that be seen in that.
Come on, give it a chance, all you wanted it for was floating and reading in anyway.
Id rather die than be seen in that.
Ill set it up and see how it looks, right?
Id rather die that be seen in that.
While watching Husband hammer away at assembling our new pool I am reminded how much I love him- a lot. There is nothing he wouldnt do to make me happy and hes constantly trying to think up new ways to impress me.Unfortunately, the pool still looks shit, but I'm going to lie and say I'm grateful for his efforts.
I head outside to relay this but Husband starts speaking first:
Meant to say Wife, your singing yesterday was brilliant, you should start a band.
Sarky little bastard.
I think youd be really brilliant babe. You should definitely start a band. You should do it and then go on X Factor.
Sarky little bastard.
Does he honestly think Im stupid enough to parade my rotting vocal chords on telly and humiliate myself by sounding like Mariah Carey getting raped?
Babe, Im being serious, you were brilliant, you should do it, you should sing that REM song that you practiced yesterday. Theyd love it.
Sarky little bastard.
He does not know who hes messing with.
On a separate note: Something very weird has happened; The front door lock has been filled with chewing gum. I have no idea who would commit such a wanton act of vandalism but suspect the robbers who stole Husbands clothes may be to blame. In truth, it is but a minor inconvenience, my cousin will be able to fix it next week when hes back from holidays. In the meantime, any visitors can use the back gate which will give them a lovely view of our garden and swimming pool, so no real hardship.
On another unrelated note: Friday is going to be a very busy day for me. I am meeting an artist, and we will be discussing illustrations for the blog- Ill be gone all day, so sadly, Husband shall be spending the first day of his 3 day weekend alone.
