    I once looked into an external socket, for garden tools, and they really are very safe.

    The socket is in a sort of box with a small gap underneath to let the cable out.
    The plug itself is a rubbery one and everything in the box is insulated and waterproof.
    I think there was provision for a padlock, too.


    Mine is like that. When it is not in use it is closely shut with a lid.

    It might be an idea to have some sort of lock on it, because, kids notwithstanding, anyone could otherwise plug something into it and use your electricity every time you go out! :(

    I never even considered this. Mine is in the back garden, so out of sight.

    Oh I see.
    :( I don't see how an external socket could work there.

    I had assumed the car was outside the front of the house, type thing.

    Well I'm off to Inner Herts tomorrow. I will wave out the window at all places NPs may live, as I'm not the driver.

    CKs personal predicion:

    Portugal 1st
    Bulgaria 2nd
    Italy 3rd
    Romania 4th
    Belgium or Sweden 5th
    Belgium or Sweden 6th
    UK 7th

    Not gone below that, but a Eurovision Whatsapp group agrees with me.

    Ours is

    1 Portugal
    2 Italy
    3 UK
    4 Sweden
    5 Bulgaria
    6 Belgium

    That's who we liked, not necessarily who will win. Seeing Italy staged we finally get it. Great lyrics in English.

    If Verka hosted would be amazing!

    Bulgaria top in the odds!

    ETA: This is tense, very tense!
