The Retirement Thread

Morning all.
Got to nip down to the caravan storage yard first thing to do a check on the solar trickle charger I installed on Friday. Will be interesting to see if it's lifted the battery a bit. Anything over 12.48v across the terminals will be good.
Doggie walking after that, then a stroll down to my local for lunch.

Morning. Had a brisk walk. It's dry and bright up here, but a perishing cold wind. Not sure I can face the bike in that wind. . I will see later.

That would be a NO from me.

I suspect from me too

I have risen!

Dog already walked, breakfast consumed.

It's only about 3 deg here, very wet and cold, so I will be dossing

Dossing, or dozing? No dossing in shop doorways now!

Could end up being both, but dossing on the chair

You walked the dog in your sleep!

Good morning - A dry but colder morning. The boiler decided not to work when the heating was put on. There was no hot water either. The boiler pressure had gone down to 0.5 bar (should be about 1.2 bar). Turned on a valve that lets more water into the system and water leaked out from under the boiler. It soaked the washing in the airing cupboard. Quickly turned the valve off.

Luckily, the installation plumbers had put in an alternative and better way of putting water into the system. I used that and all is well. There are no leaks anywhere in the entire system but I don't know why the boiler pressure dropped. I'll have to keep an eye on it.

Gorgeous morning here on the Gold Coast of Devon.
Caravan job done and doggie walked.
Back home for a coffee, then a stroll down to my local.

I can see my house from here.

Doggie enjoying itself.

Bit of cloud over Exmoor.

Good late morning. After watching France being cheated of a win ( it was a forward pass ), I took Molly for a walk and think she has been stung by a bee so gave her some periton and she feels sorry for herself now. Presently watching Japan - South Africa.

France were rubbish. Some of them just stood there looking totally lost.

Then again Wales were rubbish as well. They played so bad that I am surprised France managed to make them look better than them.

Watching Japan V RSA now

You must have been watching a different game from me then. Anyway, I will be supporting Wales in the final now.
