Clean pond

Today was the day...... To clean the pond. Not a job I relish. My father in law offered to help, which was kind and he found a submersible pump to aid the work of getting the water out. Head count of the inhabitants revealed 1 missing goldfish, probably due to neighbourhood cats. Phoar the water and sediment didn't half pong. 3hours later the pond was scrubbed and refilled with lovely clean water, now I need a shower.
