Great to hear you are enjoying it-it's fab isn't it?! We all love it here and wild horses could not drag any of us back.

Hopefully your pool will be ready for the Summer.

Nice one! Had me worried there for a second, especially as we fly out to Melbourne on Wednesday :-)

Just out of interest, how much does an average home Ozzie swimming pool cost? Our kids have told us that they really don't want a pool in the back garden, but I thought I'd check anyway ;-)

Cheers,

BB.

Why wait till Summer - our pool is being used now by the kids - though I will admit they come out a little cold!

In Victoria, you will use the pool not even 6-8 weeks in any one year??!!

I've got one - it came with the house but we weren't looking for one..I'll just watch the wife use it.

Your kids must be hardier than mine! Our pool is still freezing, mind you now it is a bit warmer at night they might go in it soon...

wasn't sure to be honest - which is why I put the question mark - also trying to be realistic and all that - suppose Victorians wouldn't be swimming in temps we would be.

Your kids are as tough as old boots anyhow.
