The Grand Cafe

Wishing you guys in the East, a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year.

Here in the UK we still have another 8 hours or so left in 2023, whilst my daughter and her family in BC have only just started the last day of 2023 at about 8 in the morning on New Year’s Eve !

Funny old world :sunglasses:

Don’t get too excited people, just a Collaro mat for the LP12 that I’ll order on Wednesday from Australia.

You’ll be going round and round in circles with LP12 upgrades.

Yes, that’s why they are on hold now. But, I’ll likely get a Humminguru record cleaning machine, which is cheaper than any LP12 upgrade.

Listening to the ND555 now, what an class act it is. But, I love my vinyl too.

Clean records make a massive difference in my experience.

You have put a date on them otherwise it’ll just keep blowing out. But we’re hoping to have upstairs done by then so we can move in (and get a dog :grin:). Down stairs might take another few months.

So started the New Year as we finished the old.
From drama to tragedy.
The Heating has decided to give up.
It’s less than 18 months old and the Hot Water side of the system is still working perfectly, but no heating.
On the phone to the engineers tomorrow in the hope they can come out and get it running sharpish…:face_with_diagonal_mouth:

Less than 18 months, should still be under warranty

Yeah, I don’t think that will be the problem.
It’s getting people to come out quickly to deal with it on the 2nd January.
Hopefully they won’t delay too much and we’ll get an engineer within 24 hours🤞🏼

Yep and it’s not like you guys are having great weather. Last few football matches I’ve watch it’s been coming down in buckets.

Nasty , I hope you have auxiliary heating such as some oil filled radiators?

Even Amazon have been shut on certain days.

Best wishes for a better start to the year
