Anywhere behind the wheel?
Sober?
Awake?
Too far from a shore.

No boiler repair until Wednesday I will smell like the dog by then...

Windows 10 problems yesterday. It seems the updates clashed on the system. Any one else had problems?

Problems is my favourite word at the moment

No problems with Windows 10 except for that annoying upgrade now dialog box that keeps popping up. Installed it on a desktop computer. All adobe software ceased to work. Uninstalled Windows 10. no more problems

At least it isn't minus 10 Dave. That is when our boiler usually decides to pack up, always on a weekend, and preferably over Christmas .
Touch wood it is behaving itself so far this winter.
Luckily our son lives 10 minutes away so we use his hot water for a shower. Only fair after all the huge bills from his 45 minute showers when he was a youth.

Only wet dog smell here is from a wet dog. Just walked his muddy paws all over my clean floor.

No problems at all with W10. Updated it as soon as it was available, on all our computers. No problems with any of the updates since, everything works just fine, even the Yoga 3 works properly in tablet mode after one of the updates.

Ours went on the blink last February and got condemned We were without heating or water for about 5 weeks, fortunately the weather was quite mild for the time of year.

Set us back around £1600 for a new one

Do you have a shower in the van? Is it usable if you do? We have one, but only a midget could actually use it.

The space is fine but you can only heat up a small amount of water at a time.

actually I quite like the dog living in the van, I don't trip over her toys and I can watch television in peace!

Back in the late 70's we used to have a kettle of water for each crew member, if we were lucky, for a "bucket bath" after 28-30 days at sea. It was never problem because everyone in the ship smelt the same. Of course as the vessels improved so did the facilities.

Why didn't you shower with salt water then rinse off with the bucket?

No point. The RNMDSF was very near where we docked and going in there for a proper shower was the easier option. I only lived a couple of miles from the dock so was home and in the shower in no time.

Good news we have hot water

Bad news the dog has moved back into the house
