Got a skin flareup on my RH wrist and lower forearm. (Atopic eczema) It's insanely itchy but I mustn't scratch as it'll only make it worse. I'll have to see if I can get some hydrocortisone cream to help sooth it.

We had some rain overnight and there was lightning out to the west of us. Just started some thundery rain at the moment.

There's Met Office yellow weather warning for thunderstorms and possible flash floods from Portland to the wash and places south-east. Could be a lively night.

It's time our political leaders stood up for the UK and put our country first and foremost.
Amen to that.

Camera, Heero?
No. It's the small keypad device that generates access codes for my business banking.
Old one seems to have gone doolally.

Pretty decent day down here. Just walked into the town to go to the bank and get a replacement security device. Gentle breeze, sunny and 20C

That's really good Heero, especially with your own upgrades.
Here's a comparisson picture:
The cell on the left is the original. The right hand one is the upgrade. Note how much more active silicon (blue) there is. The original cell produces about 50ma in strong sun, the upgrade about 140ma.

Going to cook my bargain half leg of lamb this afternoon. I'll put slices of garlic in the surface. I don't have any fresh rosemary so I'll make up a rub with some dried and olive oil. I'll cook it to the instructions on the pack.
I'll do roast potatoes, parsnips, big Yorkies and a selection of veggies. Gravy and mint sauce.
Had a Zoom call with my sister this morning and she's doing leg of lamb as well this afternoon.

We had some rain earlier on and there looks to be another spell heading our way. Hope it goes through before lunchtime so we can sit outside at the pub.

Decided on "The Enforcer" Clint Eastwood and Tyne daly as a police woman. Talk about typecast.
"I know what you're thinking: Did he fire six or only five. In all the excitement I lost count myself, but seeing as this is the magnum 45 and will blow your head clean off. Do you feel lucky? Well do you, punk"

Currently watching Michael Portillo's continental railway journeys on Yesterday. I'll need to look something out from the library for this evening. Not interested in the Eurovision song contest. It'll just be totally political. Haven't watched it since Kay Boyle presented it with TW!

I had a double take on the picture when I first saw it.

How long does the light last on those?
The lanterns were quite high quality with a large area silicon solar cell and two batteries. They would last all night with only several hours of full sun. They also have a clever reflector cone in the base and a the clear housing has a lens arrangement. They light up the area round the lantern for a couple of feet.
The rocks In their original form needed a full day in the sun for about 8 hours light. I have upgraded the solar cells and the batteries so now a full day of sun will work them for three nights when there is no sun.
Most of the offerings out there these days really are made down to a price
-
Now that the days are getting longer I'm getting the solar powered rock lights sorted out on the patio: 6 are out at the moment and the other 4 have their batteries in the charger. The 6 lanterns are a much more difficult proposition as the plastic battery compartments have disintegrated with age. They took 2 AA batteries per lamp but now that AAA batteries have more capacity than the old AA I've sourced some wire ended AAA battery carriers that will be fitted in where the old carriers were.

Very little rain here. Just enough to dampen the pavements. I'll have to remember to water the tubs and pots on the patio.
-
Dull with a light drizzle on the air. From the rain radar it looks like we'll miss most of it.
