Look what happened to the diving pool in Rio.
It happens to the best of us.
I think ours was a nicer colour!

Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!

About Me
- Cro Magnon
- I was born just south of London, but for the past 50 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live between an ancient cottage in a tiny village in perfectly tranquil French countryside, and a bijou townhouse in Brighton UK. In France we have plenty of fruit trees, all situated amongst a view that takes the breath away, in the UK we have a handkerchief sized patio. We also have a Border Collie called Billy. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching). Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!
Neighbour's reflection ;)
ReplyDeleteGreetings Maria x
Stunning view, Cro! x
DeleteHaha love it!!
ReplyDeleteThis made me laugh Cro - I had just read about it in The Times this morning.
ReplyDeleteI wouldnt like a mouthful
ReplyDeleteThey'll have to zap it with loads of chemicals to get it clear again... you'd like it even less then! Poor divers.
DeleteI remember you put in vitamin c last year.
ReplyDeleteThat's right. We're now all very healthy.
DeleteI just cleaned the shower curtain ready for Morris.
ReplyDeleteGreen too?
DeleteAre you and Lady M going to do some synchronised diving this afternoon?
ReplyDeleteThat picture of our pool was from a few years back; otherwise we might have been tempted.
DeleteMine is only that color when the algae bloom and I don't swim in it.
ReplyDeleteNor do we. I can't remember what I did to ours... lots of chlorine I expect.
DeleteWe've never had our pool turn such a deep green, but occasionally it's had areas that look as though they are turning, so we've been able to catch it in time.
ReplyDeleteI'll bet there were a few very red faces when that one turned that nasty shade of green ! Had the divers been peeing in it?
hahahahahahaha I was just thinking the same thing... pee !
DeleteAt least there is no sewage, trash, sofas, dead people or chickens in the pool. Maybe there is ?
cheers, parsnip and thehamish
Ours has been slightly opalescent over the past week or so, then suddenly turned perfectly clear again.... pools have a mind of their own.
