The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

Up at 6ish so back in bed at 9ish. Had 2 hours really deep sleep.
Crawled out of bed to find that my daughter has cooked me a full breakfast. It was lovely.

Thinking of a swim would be nice.

Lemmy swam like a fish, couldn't keep him out of the sea, lakes, rivers or canal.

Bruce shows an interest, but then chickens out at the last minute.

Millie does love going to the beach, but will only go in for a little paddle if it's warm enough.

I've just got back from the second walk with the dog
It's been one of those days when it hasn't really got light. A very dull day weatherwise.

Hmmmmm..........perhaps I should thank my lad for sparing me two hours of probable misery at Ewood today. Well and truly tonked according to a couple of friends who went.

We have returned from the Elsa party. I have never before seen so many mini 3 - 4 year old Elsas. The party was at an interactive centre with a cast of two young women who led the children through a short play loosely based on Frozen which itself is loosely based on Hans Christian Anderson's The Snow Queen.

A good time was had by all..........the 3 - 4 year olds.

Advice please. My car is a 2015 Hyundai i30. It's a very good car, I really like it. I know some of you have far more interest in cars than me.

The question is this. The headlights have always been poor, not very bright. I'm finding it harder to drive at night. If I replace the bulbs with something more modern LEDs perhaps? Will this give me better and brighter lighting or is it more complicated than this?

You have to be careful not to break the law regarding the brightness of new lights. Personally as we get older, we don't tend to want to drive in the dark. I know I don't particularly like doing it.

Maybe just change the bulbs for newer halogen ones.
Do you know what wattage the originals are?
