    Why would they do that wild edges, was it a mistake do you think?
    They use their own brand bulbs so either it's a way to stop you using other brands or they had to wire it up this way to get their bulbs to look right. They're fancy LED globe-type bulbs with filaments that light up. The USB inverter only puts out 5v so safety isn't a factor and they can probably get away with it.

    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    I think our car has been cleaned in an eco friendly way too. It looks a bit shiny from the upstairs window. That's good enough for me😊

    First spot of greenfly fondling. Got a few nice fat ones. Time for the birds to repay me for all those sunflower hearts.

    Hmmm ... our east facing windows are covered with a fair bit of the Sahara 🐪 ... I'm prepared to hold it hostage and will return it in exchange for a couple of barrels of oil ⛽

    Seems the dust missed us West Country folk.

    On another gardening forum somebody was asking if they should contact the vendor to complain about an item they had purchased.  They had ordered 'organic forest moss' and were, in their words "shocked and terrified" when insects and bugs fell out of it when they opened the bag.  They said they should have been warned that it wasn't just pure moss, then they wouldn't have ordered it.  They also said they had grown houseplants for years and never seen any bugs on them.
    Some people should be allowed to make their own decisions in life!
