Like the ladies of yore who gathered to roll bandages for the troops in war, I too am doing my bit to fight the war, only this war is the war against dengue fever, a nasty mosquito born disease that seems to be prevalent here in sunny PV.
My bit?
I drained my pool.
Now mind you, the pool had turned a nasty shade of green and I jokingly suggested that this was my experiment to see if life really did start by some amoeba crawling out of the sludge, the sludge being my pool.
No matter.
The folks from the health department had also muttered something about fines and...well.. it was time to do it anyway, only I'd like to make it sound as if this was my big donation to the fight against dengue.
So there it is, the pool, all empty and sad looking with mysterious green stuff on the tiles.
But I have done my part and I feel righteous. Not that I used the pool that much anyway, but that is not the point. The point is that I did my bit.
I do wonder if rolling bandages would have been more useful.
Ah well.

I think you've done a great job, but where will you get water when it's needed? I remember somthing like watering the plants with poolwater?
