You've reminded me that I had battery problems, a few years ago - but quickly solved them by buying a new one!

They don't last for ever especially now that no one ever looks at them. Remember the bottle of distilled water for topping up the cells.

I spent many years saying like Stanley - "if you don't have one it can't go wrong", but from my "lived experience" I've altered my view. :smile:

David, I think that my problem is that I was reared in the days when drivers were responsible for monitoring the health and performance of their vehicles. Often, like me, doing all my own maintenance. I had instruments that fed me information like oil and air pressure, temperatures and charging rates, and I read them as I drove. I think that's been lost today and explains why Kev is being plagued by bum sensors!

We had a quick Zoom meeting of the Bosom Friends Trustees this morning. I have an email from the Zoom Team advising me to change my password if the sign in was not me, they have my location as Southampton! Must try harder Zoom, only about 300 miles out!

We've probably all seen the images of big aircraft dropping red-coloured water in California to try and restrict the spread of the wildfires. An explanation of the chemical and red colour are given here...

Well I learned something there Peter!
What got my attention was the slow thaw of the ice and snow on the ground. The temptation to go out for a walk grows but I shall resist it until the ground is clear. My shopping last Tuesday means that I am not in need of anything yet! It was high risk but as it has turned out a smart move!
