The Retirement Thread

The usual advice is to read the instructions only if all else fails.

He normally never reads the instructions but he was confused by 5 locking nuts to stop the drum moving during delivery as there are normally only 2 or 3.

A quick hello.
Been up since 0430 as MrsD has to be at the ward for 0700.
Should be no cockups this time as her Covid swab has already come back clear.
'They' say she should be home tomorrow.......hard to believe for what used to be a major operation.
I will report back later.

Best o'luck to the pair of you.
Before, during and after.

Hope all goes well, my very best wishes.

I know someone who paid to have their new one "fitted by a store expert".
Looked nice, even fitted in the space for it with enough room for the door to close it in. They just forgot to turn the water back on before turning the machine on.

I got plenty of things to wash unfortunately.

Mr WD has decided to read the Instructions. How unusual is that

A man, reading the instructions? That isn’t unusual, it is unheard of! Give him a shake!

So... now you are searching the house for things to wash?

She has 3 pairs of bloomers......that will take 6 days.

They split, one leg at a time!

 

[Dave7]

They split, one leg at a time!

And just how do you know that ???

 

[classic33]

Three pairs over six days, how else can they be done?

 

[Dave7]

Ahhhh.... I was thinking each pair may need maybe 5 full washes.
Must say, the pair she left here don't split.

You saying they require that much washing.
With full cycle times over 4 & 1/2 hours commonplace these days, it might require a bit of patience. And fine weather!

Bonjour from sunny NW France. Himself is using the strimmer in the garden. So far he still has the requisite number of toes. I have done the usual weighing of self. From the bone broth made in the pressure cooker, overnight, I have now strained off the stock, chopped up an allotment's worth of veg and there will be soup for lunch. The cats are in hiding in the house, away from Himself making loud noises with evil machine, whilst the neighbour's cows (in adjacent field) seem to be mesmerised by the strange human they can see.

Can we take it that the new machine works and is now being put through it's paces?

I find all humans strange.........tell them not to worry about it!
