We're still on holidays

but Jill is home and has flickred some photos of us so I can blog them here so you can all see that we got pretty good use out of the pool in Spain. And we made sure everyone else got good use out of it too. The big advantage of being on holidays with so many grown ups is that there's always someone ready to go in the pool, to be bossed around by you, to have races and to throw you in the air.

I can swim a lot better than Ríodhna and I don't care about the cold water whereas she hates it but luckily Mammy had packed her small boat so I was able to take her up and down the pool when she decided to take a break from playing with a barbie watering can and sieves and splashing her feet at the side of the pool.

Only a small girl can enjoy an ice cream like this - even if Jill's rather cruel title for this photo in flickr is "elton always took time out for a poolside snack". After all, what's the point in being on holidays if you can't make a cornetto last for at least half an hour longer than everyone else and really enjoy it while you're doing it.
