O/S Daily.Wednesday 18th September 2024

Good morning, it's a fine dry start here.
Over halfway through September, how the days slip away.
Yesterday was an ok day, boiler was serviced and was ok, though so it should be it's only 3 years old.

We were talking to  the boiler man about getting rid of our old living flame gas fire in the sitting room, it's 30 years old and very wasteful to run. There's a big double radiator in the room as well, it's just that the gas fire was a handy and quick warm up if we didn't want to heat the whole house, say on a chilly summer evening. We don't use it now because of the cost, and he recommended an electric fire which would have a flame effect and would fit in the aperture. There was originally a coal fire there. ( this is an old house)

They are quite cheap to buy as well, so we'll go out today to look at some.Anything that saves a bit of money !

Not much else going on today.

Hope everyone is ok and has a good day. Izzy hope it stays fine for you.

Take care folks.
