Yes, we have a new member of staff here at the 'homestead'. He is amusingly known as 'Creepy Crawley', and is mostly found either beside, or in, the pool.
He's a hard-worker, and his demands are few. He works for just a few hours every other day; and does a grand job.
Seeing as my poor old back hardly functions any more, we decided that we needed extra help with certain outdoor cleaning jobs. Then Kimbo found 'Creepy', who was desperately looking for work.
He takes life quite leisurely, mooching about and climbing up walls and steps. He does a bit of sweeping, then when he's tired he simply goes to sleep and I rescue him from the depths.
It's a bit like having a tame Turtle in the pool.

Sounds a great idea. It also sounds as though you have settled in well to your "summer holiday".
A good friend is taking me shopping tomorrow, and we should have the car back by the middle of next week. When the car's fixed, I'll be much happier. We feel a bit 'stranded' at the moment. Very hot here, so plenty of swimming.
