Because we can't get to our place in the Dordogne, we're spending half term at a villa in Portugal. The pool doesn't have a robot and the pool boy only comes once a day so I'm having to net the bloody pool two or three times a day

Is someone using the pool as a toilet?

No, it's the pool boy, coming once a day.

Another FWP: Having your second choice of holiday destination being added to the quarantine-on-return list while you are there?

Pool boy needs a good talking too. After he's netted of course.

Get the wife to "incentivise" him. Ive seen several instructional videos on that very subject

The indignity. Farting when there's a fan at the end of the bed. The sooner the air con is installed, the better.

[Cold Turkey chic]

Air con just circulates it better.

I'm sure they have a helicopter booked to seamlessly return them into their estate.

The bird song is so plentiful here that when on calls I get dinged for not being on mute

Had to swim in the communal pool yesterday, as we are having our pool area tiled. The water was 30c, and not the 32c I'm used to.

No 'spare / back-up pool' for such occasions? Please return to lower middle class, do not collect Waitrose order and get your man grouting.

The shoes I ordered for the dog arrived today and are too snug.

I bought a nyger seed dispenser for the birds and the contents have hardly been touched.

Surely you keep one of these on the staff to keep you in the shade?

Wives and mistresses. May they never meet.

You have to wait for Saturday for that toast.

Awfully tricky when they do though, lost the estate that way!
