The Retirement Thread

[classic33]

It is indeed.

Planned Fell walk at weekend was put back to Mon next week.

Currently, 3°C, very foggy and dripping wet.

And, as you say, a very poor outlook.

Hope I can get the ride in!

Depending on wind direction, you might have a fair old tailwind at times.

@Tenkaykev Did you see ROUVY is taking over Fulgaz. Pity as I have come to prefer Fulgaz. Feels more realistic.

I missed that Mo, we have an annual Fulgaz subscription that is due to expire in March. Not had any email correspondence yet.

Nice of them to keep you informed and upto date.

Ironing done.

I always thought you were a drip-dry non-iron sort of fella.

Q day today.

We've figured out that Bruce knows when Mrs D is about to have a hypo and he tries to warn her.

She wears a Libre 2 sensor and we've noticed he comes and makes a huge fuss around her usually minutes before it starts beeping.

We think my old boy Lemmy knew Mrs D had MS before she did, so it surprises me not that Bruce is able to smell diabetes.

Good morning all.
We have a damp, rainy, sleety, cloudy kind of day forecast.
All the usual things to do today, plus
I have a dentist appointment just for a checkup and a hygienist appointment this afternoon.
That will give me the chance of a bike ride down to the surgery to stretch the legs.

Morning all

MrsD has a docs appointment at 11.20.
We'll nip into Minehead afterwards to meet up with our mates for lunch in Wetherspoons.
Had a delivery of mild steel offcuts yesterday, so I've got enough material to modify my bike trailer - the wheel gaps are slightly too long and the bike wheels drop too deeply into them. A couple of cross straps on the wheel channels should sort it. Good job I enjoy welding.

Thanks Mo, I logged in to Fulgaz and see that my annual membership was due to autorenew in February. Now cancelled👍

Good morning, it's grey and still at the moment, will push myself out of the door shortly as the weather is due to deteriorate from this afternoon. Mrs Tkk got over 20,000 steps yesterday, her walk leader role followed by a run along the trailway helped with that, if she carries on like this she may become the Dorset Mo 😁
In other news I was looking at our gas usage and decided to dig into the efficiency rating of our old boiler ( they stopped making it in 2002 and we'd had it a few years prior to that ). Shocked to see that the efficiency was listed as 66.8% - 76.9% depending on heating season, and the hot water efficiency at 48.8%. I know older boilers were less efficient than modern ones but that's quite startling.
