    I was thinking of putting "To my 1st Wife" on the card, then started to worry that she might take me up on it.  I couldn't cope with that as I've only just got this one properly trained after nearly 40 years.

    My husband was self-trained and a very good job he made of it.  The only thing I had to teach him was not to tuck his shirt into his underpants.

    @Hostafan1 you’re going to laugh at this,  our oil run out this morning, phoned Lanes, will bring some tomorrow Roland borrowed an oil drum from them and brought some home.  I then had to prime the boiler,  thought you might think this a little bit funny since we were all laughing at you a few months ago😀
    Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.

    Forgive my ignorance as never had oil but don't these oil tanks have gauges or something on them so you can tell how much is left?

    No Lizzie, we dip a stick in every 3 months in the winter,   some do have a gauge, we had one that plugged into a socket, but they’re not very accurate and as we get a discount for over so many litres we fly near to the edge,  we knew it was low, just forgot!  Still it was only half a day. All warm now.  We won’t need anymore till almost autumn  now, it’s very economical.
