Winterising

This afternoon I fitted a pair of curtains that Liz and I made, drained the hot and cold water systems, tested the central heating, put antifreeze down the shower trap and ran the engine to check the battery voltages on my newly-installed voltmeter. I'm open minded about said voltmeter, as some boaters seem to become obsessed by the readings.

All that remains to do is to fill the diesel tank, dry out the water tank (it was raining when I drained it) and we are ready for whatever winter brings.

The new curtains are much lighter and prettier that the old ones.
