gardening and pool care

i learned two things today. the guys who are taking care of our lawn and our flowers taught me how to care for our roses. the flowers are now dry and he, the younger of the 4 told me it is better if we can remove the dried flowers so it will bloom again. i must say we have a good garden and lawn.

nick the guy! (ps. he doesn't know i took a picture of him. LOL!)

(isn't he a hot guy for a gardener... LOL!)

and then this afternoon. i got a chance to meet the pool guy. 

he is of course (LOL!) in charge of our pool.

sorry wasn't able to take a picture...

it will be obvious since he is asking me

to hold the brush and the vacuum.

he taught me how to manage the chemicals. 

how to check the safe level of it.

how to make sure that all the machine, namely;

the pump, the heater, the lights and the

attachments for the vacuum is running well.

taken after they left. trying to apply what i learned.

hope i am good enough to be a pool boy... 

and after the hard work, 

of course, 

i needed a break 

and enjoy it...

yes! i know how to swim (LOL!)

my house back home in the Roxas, Palawan, Philippines

is 400 meters away from the beach...
