After a good day yesterday which was the first getting out and about since getting ill I'm going to take it easy today. Activities will include baking a cake and seeing why the 12V garden lighting system has stopped working, but first a big mug of tea.

Trying to produce lightning with only 12 volts?

I see what the problem is.

@JdeBP Doh, I meant lighting, I've been working all week on displaying lightning data for airports and the word must have stuck 😆

@matt303

And a good thing, too, else how could people shoehorn the #dadjokes in? (-:

I've spent the week in part moving boxes and boxes and boxes of rain-soaked radio parts from the junk cardboard and open-topped storage that they were in, into #ReallyUsefulBox es, with lids.

Alas, the box that was right at the bottom didn't drain and there's a load of metal mystery cuboids sitting in about 1dm of very brown water, some of which sprout mini water fountains when lifted out, meaning that they are probably solid rust inside by now as this stuff has sat in a shed with a dodgy roof for years.
