Morning Ally, morning everyone
Ally, I totally get your dad; what a perfect way to spend the day just sitting by a pool side and chilling, surrounded by your loved ones - bliss

I forget, is the pool water warm enough already to go swimming?
Saundra, same here - I look at the forecast and think it's OK then when you look at it a day later it's all gone pear shaped and cold.... I think we do need to wait until about mid April before doing anything; if not even later
I'm getting myself ready and will be heading off to Brighton shortly; meeting up with a friend for a mooch around the lanes, a late lunch and then on the 5pm train back home. And for a change it seems that the weather will hold until close to departure time. Usually when I go it's raining so this will be a nice change.
Have a lovely day all, whatever it is you're up to x
