Bosch

End of an era Chez Langley. This washing machine has served me well. But things don’t last forever. I inherited it when I moved in over 10 years ago. I had no idea how old it was then! So it owes me nothing.

Like us as we age, it started having bladder issues and I’ve found a few accidents. The irony being that once I’d used a few tea towels to mop up the puddles, I needed to wash them.

That and it’s been prime drying weather these past few days.

So I started looking for a new one. It must be a good 18 years since I bought a new washing machine. Things have moved on massively. The bewildering array of functions is slightly overwhelming. As are some of the prices! For the money, I’d want the machine to fold and put the clothes away too.

So I went old school and popped to a shop. Had a good chat with the man there and a new shiny Bosch washing machine is being delivered tomorrow. Bye bye Bosch, I bought a Bosch.

Structure

The Buddymobile is back after having a lot of work done on it. One of the rear wheel arches needed replacing. Sounds like a simple job. Right?! This is me, so of course not!

It was bad. First I knew was when a bit fell off. Never a good thing!!

It seems that the wheel arch has been an issue for a while. Water had been coming into one of my side lockers, as well as hitting the living floor. As a result, there was a lot of rotten wood that needed to be replaced. Good job I didn’t go through it. Or my bed collapse overnight.

So I have a rebuilt wheel arch and new floor in the locker and living. Need to get some replacement lino to complete it.

It will need to go back at some point to have the other rear wheel arch done.

I did get an upgrade while it was being done. A new step to make getting in and out a bit easier. Made good use of that as I was giving it a deep clean this evening.
