Quote from: Nick on September 17, 2023, 05:08:20 PMTumble drier has been playing up, cleaned all the filters etc but still wouldn't stay on. Checked You Tube and there is a small almost hidden compartment that was full of crud. Quick clean and working like new. Love fixing things on You Tube rather than calling a plumber or buying new. The manufacturers must hate it.

With the price of electricity these days, I might have left it broken a little longer!  Apparently hanging clothes in a small room with a dehumidifier is a much more efficient way of drying clothes.  Takes longer but uses a fraction of the electricity

Hanging washing up outside or inside on an airer uses no electricity! Just keep the house well ventilated.
Never seen the point of a tumble drier, except for 'fluffy' towels. I'm far too tight for one

Never seen the point of a tumble drier full stop. Or a microwave.

Ovaltine, with milk, most evenings before bye-byes 

Never seen the point of Ovaltine...

"Ovaltine is an excellent source of several B vitamins, including Vitamin B6, niacin, and thiamin. The nutrition value of Ovaltine can vary slightly depending on the flavor you choose and the beverage you mix it with. For example, adding the powder to milk will result in more calories, protein, vitamin D, and calcium."

String of nice weather days coming up in about a week.

Ah that's a shame. The forecasters have changed their mind. Today's forecast for the same period:



Interesting to see if it continues to degrade, or improves a bit. At least the Wednesday remains unmolested, for now.

Imagine you're out for a ride on your bike and you come across an old bloke out for a walk on his own.

Should've asked him what he actually does.

I quite liked the way there's no deference, but no disrespect either. And to Charles' credit he doesn't seem to mind at all.

Agreed. He seems to enjoy it far more than the ludicrous pomp and ceremony that engulf his royal "duties".

For "royal duties" replace with "political campaigning"

It did continue to degrade. As of just now:



I'd say we aren't going to get a seven-day string of sunny days.

Curses! Planned last lawns cutting exercise shelved then. Should really be in the grumpy thread.

A pair of Grado headphones I ordered have just arrived. Got goosebumps listening to a John McLaughlin acoustic tune.
