Team effort...

...when we came back from our cycle last night we saw Oscar our cat having a nose about the covered pool...

Cut to this morning and the cover had slipped off a bit and was lying on the water surface and the pool rim looked a tad deflated...sure enough further investigation uncovered four tiny holes remarkably like cat claws:-(

So it was all hands on deck to get the pool emptied so we can fix the puncture. I'll need to send for a repair kit first right enough.

Mr R & myself did the bulk of the work but the Barmy Army did help...mainly with their sand buckets but at some point in the proceedings the wee fella grabbed the watering can:-)

It took a fair wee bit of emptying...I had been thinking on doing it tomorrow anyway...just hadn't banked on having a puncture to fix. I hope now that Oscar has had a nose at it he won't be doing that again. I can see the rim of this pool being covered in patches:-/
