We've bought some new solar lamps for the garden. Assembly took just 5 minutes, then stick 'em in the ground. Plenty of sunshine today to supply the required energy. So, when are they going to illuminate, I pondered? I sat in the garden with a tipple, as you do, and watched. According to my almanac, twilight would be 9.39pm. So when these little beauties suddenly "lit up" at precisely 9.39pm I was somewhat taken aback! Coincidence?
I will have to watch tomorrow to see if they wait another minute, until 9.40pm...
But I am rather impressed, seeing as they only cost £5.99 ($11.79) each.
Sometimes I am easily satisfied.
