… in LIDL at St Eloy-les-Mines this afternoon. <\/p>\n
Rummaging around, like you do … “like YOU do” – ed …<\/i> I noticed several twin-packs of LED light strips. About a foot long, they consist of about 12 tiny LEDs and consume just 1 watt of electricity. <\/p>\n
They are 12-volt and come complete with tiny mains transformer and little movement-detector.<\/p>\n
I’ve been looking for something to use as strip lights in the kitchen whenever it might be that I start it, and also for the bathroom over the sink and the bedroom over the dressing table. <\/p>\n
You can buy 12-volt flourescents and indeed I have a few here that I was planning to use, but they take about 7 watts and they are big, bulky things.<\/p>\n
So I duly bought a pack and brought it home. And after cutting a few wires and so on, I gave it a try.<\/p>\n
And blimey! <\/p>\n
for just 1 watt, that’s incredibly bright. Now I have to go and help Rosemary on Monday morning so I’m going via<\/i> LIDL at St Eloy-les-Mines and I’ll buy the rest of the stock of those lights. <\/p>\n
That’s another problem solved. Good old LIDL, hey?<\/p>\n
There was also a sale on at Cheze – everything in the shop 20% off today. Now I have a few decent tools lying around here that don’t have handles, like a rake, a sledgehammer and a binette<\/i> – that kind of thing, and so I popped in there today. <\/p>\n
So that’s something else organised. <\/p>\n
I also bumped into Bill and so we went for a coffee and a natter.<\/p>\n
This morning I sorted out the radio programmes for the rock shows that I do for Radio Anglais. I’m now up to November, with records selected and scripts typed and so that will keep me out of mischief for a while. <\/p>\n
And then I headed for town.<\/p>\n
Back home after the shops, I went through the SD cards and copied their contents onto DVD – something that I’ve been meaning to do for quite a while.<\/p>\n
And I’m supposed to take it easy at the weekend. <\/p>\n
Phew! \u00a0<\/p>\n
