8002

Last year, Margaret ordered a nice clock / thermometer / humidity gauge for pool side at 8002 … But we found that the clock kept losing time, and changing the battery did not help!
So last trip, we took it back home, then found a different clock unit, and with Michel’s help (at work) we got it to fit.

Now, the clock is re-installed and seems to be working fine … But since we suspect the failure was heat related we’ll need to see how it goes in the months ahead 🙂

We’re back in Florida, for a long weekend (and my birthday 🙂 )
Earlier, I opened the pool filter cover and lifted out the thermometer to see how warm the pool was (it was 90f) – and off leapt a small snake, back in to the pool!
He happily swam away across the pool, keeping well away from me and my “rescue” attempts.

I got the pool net, and fished it out – but back in it went! Fished out again, and rushed to get it outside the lanai so it couldn’t rejoin the pool (even if it likes it, we don’t want to risk hurting it when we go in the water!)

It stayed for a while, perhaps in shock, or waiting for us to stop watching … then suddenly it wasn’t there any more; hopefully it’ll find somewhere else nice to live!
