But I Smile Anyway…

Linda’s SoCS prompt…

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “the last thing you filled.” Think about the last thing you filled, or the contents you filled it with, and use one or both of those things as your prompt. Enjoy!

I think I’m rather glad I didn’t rewrite and schedule this week, as I have done a lot of filling today!

It is extremely warm in the UK today. The temperatures hitting 28℃ where I am right now.

As soon as the news started reporting the heat for the weekend, Lil Princess was ready for a pool…

Well, we don’t have a proper one. The neighbours do; lucky them!

So I pulled out the extra large paddling pool we have. It isn’t a kiddie one per se, but one where four adults can sit in, and you have to inflate it with air.

So, I filled the air, then set the hosepipe to begin the lengthy task of filling it up with water while I dropped Lil Man at today’s match.

Once I arrived back, I filled the kettle to add some warm water to it, too.

Then I noticed there was a puncture! Lil Princess and I managed to gaffer tape it up for now, but I have found a second section with a hole, too, so this might be the last outing for this one…

This afternoon, we chilled in the sun, and she enjoyed lying in the water, too. I am boiling. I’ve come inside for a cool-down break!

Right. Off to go and enjoy some more good weather! See you on the other side!
