Last night, the new Uni-students-who-party-every-night next door intrigued us with the sound of splashing and diving in between the usual bad drumming and clinking of beer bottles at 2am.
Intrigued, this morning The King and I climbed to the top battlement and looked down on the neighboring castle.
Apart from being impressed at the sheer unapologetic pardy-ness of their back verandah, we were gobsmacked to see that they had rented a huge blow-up pool.
The View from the Battlements
The Royal Handmaiden assures me that we wouldn’t be able to fit one on the carriageway for our next soirée – dang.
But now my ever-present desire for a lap pool down the side of the castle has reared its head again (quote was hideously expensive, even though I did not reveal the true horror to The King).
I am now wondering about pulling the duranta out of the middle of the royal courtyard and installing a small round plunge pool instead.

Opinions?
Complex Plan
Yes yes yes
WTF, I turn my back for ONE MINUTE!
Drowned puppy anyone?
The King
She’ll love swimming after blow up toys!
Personally, I’d be wheeling out the catapult, aiming it at the itinerants next door and stoking it up with large rocks.
Yes, take the plunge.
Hey, I found out that they didn’t rent it, they bought it. More splashing-clinking-drumming to come – and summer hasn’t even started yet.
Perhaps there’s a virus in the air. The two lesbians next door to me have started drumming. Send The King around with his Klaxon horn pronto.
Ha ha for a moment I thought you’d written ‘klaxon horn porno’. Now that would do the trick.
I like drumming. But I try not to annoy the neighbors with it.
I also like my pool, but it is a very very small one, and we don’t splash in it. We use to to cool our core temperature down when we have been working during the summer. It is barely 6 feet in diameter, and only about 30 inches deep.
I’d love to have a lap pool. but they ARE expensive! The other thing that I lust after is the kind of pool that has the pump so you swim against a current. Much more compact, and hideously expensive. http://www.endlesspools.com/ Their “inexpensive” option is only $12,000
