I was feeling a bit antsy and there wasn't a thread yet at 22 past midnight.

Have a great day everyone. May you and the animals of the DT who like sunbathing get some sun.

ffs, heater has come up with an F1 error and won't switch on. argh, it does not like it when the temp is below 7 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

It might be a dirty filter problem.

Not sure what sort of heater you have but if the filter is clean holding the power button for about 10 seconds or so might be able to reset the error code.

Thanks for making the post. I saw there wasn't one at about 10 past, but I don't want my notifications going off all day so left it

In other news, YIL (Yesterday I learned) there's a remind me bot here. Technically it's on Mastodon, but it works here through federation: https://aussie.zone/comment/10817925

Bloody hell it was cold on that run.

There was definitely lots of frost around this morning. My morning dog walk was a bit shorter than usual - I was pretty well rugged up but my nose and fingers were very chilly. It's unfortunate that full gloves make it too hard to hold the dog leash securely.

So the DT's general concensus is to grab a Bosch [washing machine]. This is the cheapest Bosch from a reputable-looking vendor that I can find.

Will order later today for a delivery hopefully some time next week.

I've managed to get a couple of sales on my items which is good news. Apparently eBay now hold the money until after the item is delivered if you are an infrequent seller - I approve in general as an anti-scamming measure, but it is annoying to have to pay the postage up front before you have the payment. Fortunately it was not a high postage cost.

@just_kitten - My wife passed her exam too thanks to Rowan.

On another note, TIL that the smooth stop Rowan taught me in the first hour is called the Limousine Stop.
