23 year old boiler up and running again

[difflock]

Fitted a Worcester Bosh 90/110, way back in 1996, only been serviced twice in the 23 years, though I changed nozzles and swopped about between 28 sec and 35 sec oils, and also kept it clean.

The bugger waited until I was hospital bound with severe acute Pancreatitis last week, before it started "screedling", due to a failed bearing.

2 replacement bearings later, fitted by the daughters boyfriend today with my "help" because I am still as weak as water, and Bobs yer Uncle.

Hopefully good for another 23 years.

Not bad service for a domestic appliance.

Ah well, despite being as "weak as water" due to lying in a Hospital bed for 2 weeks, though once I was past the acute period in the first week, I resolutely did a circuit of the main corridors and stairs as often as possible, plus a couple of turns outside on the better days.

There is nowt wrong with me except a swollen and 30% damaged pancreas, and apparently it is highly likely I will never recover the missing 30% function, so small regular meals from here on in.

Only medication is Co-Codomol to be taken if necessary for the pain.

But

Planning to walk the dogs this afternoon.

and

LIFE IS GOOD.
