    Off topic, except to say that today is not getting better, even though Iโ€™m feeling better. We had a call mid-afternoon to say the fire service had been called to my father in lawโ€™s house In Anglesey, a fire upstairs caused by an electrical fault. So we have had a frantic afternoon trying to get hold of his social worker (her day off of course), eventually managed to get hold of another, but havenโ€™t heard back yet. Just had a call from a fire service guy who is trying to get hold of an electrician to make the house safe. His neighbours have taken Dad in for the night, but they are due to go on holiday tomorrow morning.

    Aaaargh!

    On a brighter note, my youngest son is due to arrive this evening from Bournemouth. Looking forward to seeing him.ย 

    Sorry to hear this and can really sympathise, elderly relatives raise our stress levels so high at times.

    Have a great visit with your son to balance things out ๐Ÿ™‚

    we need to stop all the notifications on deaths, infections ect itโ€™s still a illness that more than most survive, you hear people say you must wear masks everywhere so you dont cough and sneeze on people well I have never done that even before this โ€œitโ€™s called manorsโ€, I wouldnโ€™t of visit my elderly parents with a cold or flu, I never visit my dad in a hospice when I had a cold the fact the most measure are to keep this at the forefront of our mindsย 

    Knowledge is power - keep giving us all the information available please. Also, air borne droplets are not just spread through coughs and sneezes, plus you can have no symptoms and still spread it to someone who may die.

    Wear masks, follow the rules or risk literally killing someone.. really!

  3. Sorry, I got carried away and didn't answer properly. I hope this helps -

    "15 amps, 30 amps, 70 amps, 100 amps? What does it mean?

    A question we are asked all the time. Basically the amperage rating of the isolator is the amount of current the isolator can handle under severe fault conditions. The isolator must be able to handle more than the available current supplied to the boat. Usually UK marina supplies are either 16 or 32 amps so the isolator must be able safely handle at least 20% more than the maximum current available to comply with legislation. Realistically the higher the rating the more reliable the isolator."

  4. If you're away from your boat any length of time it's best not to close the vents, ventilation is the best dehumidifier.

    I leave our dehumidifier on 24/7 but at a low level/tolerance (I don't know the correct terms lol) The outlet tube goes into the galley sink and all is well

  5. I think, and I'm no expert, that as the salt water incursion works it's way upstream so do the fish and the basin which seems like a haven becomes a trap as the salt water means they can't get out to keep moving upstream.

    No idea how effective it is but presumably it helps. The EA operate it I think.

    At present we have joined a private dentist to ensure that we have somewhere to go.ย 

    We moved here 4 years ago and at that time the Hemsby practice took us on as NHS patients. Covid, of course, meant big problems for dentists and twice my checkups were cancelled but they seem to be back on track now. Certainly worth an enquiry if you haven't tried them yet.

    My Surface Pro is less than a year old, did the upgrade last week... Camera stopped working!

    There is no real reason for this, just coincidence apparently! Support were helpful but failed to fix it. Now they have gone very quiet.

    Personnally, like you, I usually wait a while and wish I had.

    Just heard from MS that they are replacing the pc under warranty, happy with that ๐Ÿ‘

  8. What we get used to is a big factor in buying and upgrading our devices. In all honesty Apple, Microsoft and Chrome/Android are perfectly good systems.

    I happily find my way around anything from Microsoft and Android so stick with them but I'm sure I'd be happy with Apple products too if I could be bothered to get used to something I'm not familiar with.

    For what it's worth I couldn't see much difference in Win11 from the brief look I've had other than the Start button and menu.
