Pic of the week 22/11/20
We’re now firmly into mid-November, its dark early, its damp, chilly (although mild for the time of year) and we’re still in Lockdown 2 – so not a lot to write about. Its the time of year for getting your head down and getting on with life, so not a lot to report this week.
The pic above is from when Becky & Sophie went to Ham Wall RSBP reserve on Saturday – at first glance it looks to me like Sophie is fishing!
On Saturday morning, Sophie’s car wouldn’t start, but I managed to jump start it easily that afternoon. I suspect the problem lies with the stereo being accidentally left on, so we’ve decided to remove it. Haven’t managed to (yet) take it out of the car (have ordered a special tool from eBay for a couple of quid) , but have discovered you can remove the front face plate, so I’ve done that so hopefully it means the stereo can’t be accidentally knocked and turned on.
I did get my voltmeter and took the following readings of the battery:
11.83V before starting
9.1 V on starting
14.56 V when engine running
so I think the battery is probably OK, and the stereo was the cause of the problem.
Not much other news. Ran this morning, Becky now back at work after 11 days on off, three weeks of term to go …
