    Afternoon all.

    Yesterday I bought a rotating sprinkler from Wilkos, for a whopping £2. I didn't expect it to be much good, but the lad thought it would be a good addition for summer battles, as you'd be able to 'run in and out of it and not get wet' (I think he meant time it just right so you can run past without getting wet, time it wrong and get soaked).

    Up until now, during dry weather, I've been keeping the garden alive with my Hozelock one. I have this one:

    Its ok, but unless I put it on cloud mode, so half the water simply blows away, coverage is ok but not great.

    Just tried the lad's one, which is this:

    Apart from being quite fun to watch (and run through with careful timing), it also gives surprisingly good even coverage over a fairly large area.
