      Thanks Upsydaisy,..doing well enough to still be in good form,..went to the next County Hospital last Friday to have an abdomen scan,..waiting on the results,..all it will tell me is the type of groin hernia it is,..which might ease my mind a tad,..i am taking it easy,.. thank you,..the hernia dictates that,.. as my being on my feet for long starts it to really hurt,..however i can judge the days it is not wise to exert myself at all then resort to the couch where it will cause no distress,..it could be worse,..at least i still have good days :)

        Upsydaisy has it right folks,..its a type of heating system which sucks in air and converts the water to hot water,..heats the radiators,..i will be given 4 new radiators,..i used to only have two of them,..so no more solid fuel of any kind needed,..they will remove my wood burner as well.
        Below is some info on the system to be installed,..oh its installed free.

              Thank you for that first thing Philip. I needed it after a not so peaceful night.

                    You still have lots of blooms and colour. Not a lot here at the moment, just green even without rain!
