The Retirement Thread

Morning. Minus 3 here . I saw Iain over the road wiping condensation from the inside of his windows so must be cold. I have my dehumidifier on which definitely helps. Mine seem to be fine.

I will brave a walk soon.

Morning all. -3⁰c here with a thick frost.
Two of our moggies have headed out, I don't think it will be long before they are back.

Good morning from a dark and chilly Coventry.

I can see a crystal clear moon but no sign of the Artemis capsule that’s headed back and due to splash down in the ocean on Sunday 😉
Out to a Christmas lunch at the Stocks in Wimborne with a small group of ex work colleagues. Might jump on the Turbo as it looks quite icy underfoot.
Stay warm folks❄️❄️

I have my wood burner going full blast to heat my house up. Ooohhhh. Lovely

Morning all

Off to Barnstaple on the Bus this morning to get some new shoes.
Had a phone call, late yesterday afternoon, from our estate agents.
Apparently, the people we were buying from in Watchet have found another property and are waiting to see if their offer has been accepted. Our purchasers have been looking, but can't find anything suitable, so they are still in the loop. Seems that all is not lost - estate agent will be in touch again tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

I love my wood burner. It heats my whole house. It's toasty warm in here.

How does a single wood burner heat the whole house ??
Serious question that btw.
The only one we ever used was in a holiday cottage and it was awful..........little heat but plenty of smoke.

I'm not worrying about it, I'm running the heating and keeping us warm, I'll worry about the bill when I get it.

Us also. I hate the cold. It seems to eat into my bones.

The only piece of news worth mentioning. Johny Johnson the last dam buster has passed away at the age of 101.

We used to have one in our cottage in Tunbridge Wells.

It was smaller than Welshies but easily heated all 3 stories of the property.

Many times in winter we would open an outside door to let excess heat out.

No smoke either, and there shouldn't be if properly installed and with a decent flue.

Just defrosting the car to go visit a friend on the Cumbrian coast.

-5C on the car thermometer. Brrrr!

We have a great wood burner. It sort of has a double burner. We also have a fan on top that moves the hot air round. I simply leave all the doors in the house open and the heat goes all over.

If you had plenty of smoke, the seal on the doors wasn't working. If it was, the burner would have heated up properly
