I just have one in the hall. I am a rebel and haven't updated to the 3 interlinked ones the Scottish Government told us to. When they pay for them I might consider it.

I already had one in the hall but my family gave me the new ones. Unfortunately they do not interlink properly and the kitchen heat detector fell down as the adhesive failed and has not been replaced as I cannot use ladders anymore. These were recommended by another relative who is an electrician so not el cheepo type. They have not been back to try again as it is a whole day and quite expensive. A local electrician who is a school pal of my son’s has so far failed to turn up probably as it would be a favour rather than a paid job.

Back home after a frustrating trip on our latest ferry which I dislike for a variety of reasons. Could not get into my car on the car deck as a motorhome was parked too close to my driver door and people kept trying to squeeze past causing danger to my wing mirrors until I blocked them from trying. Passenger area is too crowded. Suitable for short distance commuters and the outer deck was crammed with touroid.
Drive up the road was as bad with a clown in front who kept diving into passing places when any vehicle approaching was sighted even if it was already stopped. Took several expressions of displeasure before they finally got the hint and let me past.
Now rested a bit do need to finish the food unpacking next.

what if you're waiting for "the other shoe to drop", but you don't hear it, because it's a sneaker?

I don't have any detectors, l have dogs and they don't need batteries just one meal a day

wonder if they can detect carbon monoxide ... google says no, "no pet can identify the gas" because CO lacks any scent whatsoever. Exposure can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning in both humans and pets

you know they require it, for your own good, right? we have them on 4 floors. it's pretty annoying when they all go off because 1 is having a false alarm issue. but you only need 1 true alarm missed, to die a preventable death ...

Since we do not burn any fossil fuels inside the house and heating/hot water etc is by an external appliance with an external venting system ,it isn't an issue.

Lovely luncheon of two slices of wholemeal toast, one with ham & mustard, the other with cheddar and pineapple chutney, plus a tomato, an orange, some strawberries, a handful of grapes and two

Lunch things have been washed up along with the recycling. Now just chilling for a bit before I go for a ride.

I didn't have a coffee until after midday. It tasted superb accompanied by a garlic sausage and smoked cheese sandwich.

123/69. The batteries in my new blood pressure monitor didn't work so boo to Omcron.

Did you remove the "Remove before use" tag, and is that your reading after finding batteries that did work?
