Got back to caravan about 3.45pm. Picked up tablet about 4pm to look at this caravan forum as I had not been on for a week. Was having trouble reading posts and had to keep cranking up magnification.l kept thinkIng that I did not remember a problem when viewing the site on the tablet 6 weeks ago. An hour later as church bells chimed 5pm I realised that I was still wearing distance glasses

I use bi-focals now ! Not ideal but better than carrying / wearing two pairs !!
The only trouble is in newsagents like WHSmiths where I cannot read stuff on the top shelf without standing on tiptoe and tilting my head back ! Then again I cannot read the bottom shelf either without getting on my knees and tilting the head back again ! Suppose i could always grab the mags & see if they are what I wanted, but that can be a tad embarrassing at times

Had a couple of senior moments this week. First when washing up I managed to break a casserole dish (turned out it was OH's favourite) then yesterday I broke a wine glass, it just slipped from my grasp, thankfully we'd had it a while and it was only a cheap one from IKEA.
What am I doing wrong I still can't get out of doing the washing up!

We had one when we refitted our kitchen a few years ago. We only have a small kitchen so was a difficult decision. Wish we hadn't. Dishes have to be clean before they go in 😲😲. Glad my washing machine starts with dirty clothes and churns them out clean, occasionally a bit of stain treatment required before hand. But dishwasher needs them clean, takes an age to do the task, I then have to allow it to dry or do do with a tea cloth. Doing the dishes takes minutes, job done start to finish and all away. Socialable too as can chat to a helper or enjoy the solitude 😃. Start the next part of your life and no returning to finish off previous job

Clean?? We just stick in the plates as they are, not with left over food on them of course, then rinse and leave for the next meal, repeat till full.
OH usually puts it on either overnight or in the afternoon. Dishes sit in it to dry till the next meal. A full intensive wash takes 138 minutes.
Would not like to be without the dishwasher.
2 things we miss when away in the caravan.....the dishwasher and the Insinkerator!
