I think Grace knows that we’ve had a couple of sunny days thus far and hopefully we shall be getting some more.
If you’re lucky enough to know someone with a pool, or indeed – have one yourself then a pool party would be the obvious way to go
Now, if I was in that afore mentioned position then a wireless speaker and mood lighting ball would be ideal.
The Aqua Sounder will not only wirelessly transmit your choonz from a dock positioned up to 150 feet away, it will also provide some funky ambiance via its two LED mood lights.
You can even have it in the pool with you as the Aqua Sounder is completely submersible – just don’t use it instead of a water polo ball – it would be painful and possibly costly.
$150.00 costly – have a look at the specs and things and some discounted versions at Grace’s website

Ah, RuckJack you clever yet confusing garment.
But, saying that, I can almost imagine festival goers sporting these come the ’summer’.
Essentially this is a rucksack that can change into a jacket……….or is it the other way around?
Think: pac-a-mac where the pac is useful.
Although it can’t actually perform as both at the same time. So you will have to plan whether you’re going to be carrying stuff or staying dry.
The Jack part is waterproof, windproof and breathable with a hood and pockets; and then when zipped up, turned upside down and arms strapped down you have Ruck.
Ruck is a 30 litre backpack.

The RuckJack will be available to buy from 16 March online and from Millets in a variety of colours.
Whilst you’re there – if you’re planning to go to Glasto, et al: BUY SOME WELLIES!!
If you don’t you just offer the best form of entertainment to the likes of me who takes wellies, para boots AND a pair of Cons – I ended up hiring my para boots out to a friend the last time I was at Glastonbury…….
He did offer booze in exchange so what could I do?
