    No Doods, it was in Manchester, but strange how often Greece has figured in my life before coming to live here.
    It was presumably the Greek God, Hermes, but we didn't do Greek so they gave the statues their Roman equivalent names.
    I chose French and still have a fair amount of it.
    Well done on the fairy lights. We have a light tree on our balcony and it is so pretty and mood-enhancing.

    ah right. yes i think i remember you saying greece has been a recurring theme. starting with that lovely old house at school!

    there's an everything shop on the corner here and i thought they might sell fairy lights. it looked like they'd just got a batch in because i've not seen that display before.

    i've got new fairy lights! :-D:-D they're red, yellow, green and blue golf ball shaped ones, about the size of a chickpea. i'm not sure they're quite as bright as the old fashioned bulb type ones (these are LED) but they're cheery :-)
    Evening Doods.:-)))))))))

    With LED lights at least they won't go on you, some components may but not the LED.

    And they should cost nothing to run either.

    ah cool, thanks :) so what components might go? the fuse? the little power converter thingy? and presumably they won't get very hot.

    She sung "lost in France" "the one about the egg" and she is doing Eurovision with a dirge. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqXk_FRw62Q

    The fuse shouldn't go, only in the event of a problem, short circuit.
    LED's run very cool, the power converter could develop a fault, a bad connection within the wiring of the cable that connects the LEDs..

    The last coloured fairy lights i have outside can be connected together and you can have 5,000 LEDs on the one power plug.

    my little display is starting to feel pathetic :D that's good to know though, i might buy another set for somewhere else so i can feel like i'm living in a fairground!
