Hoookay, well yesterday I had running silicon. And this time, it did 
what I was expecting it to do! ;-)




Ironically, the biggest problem was actually *wires*. I bought a box of 

a nice compartmental box and there's quite a lot of wire in it, each 
length in a different colour, with the ends neatly bent to a 
right-angle.) Unfortunately, the wire is so utterly stiff and unbendable 
that I had a lot of trouble using it.

The other expensive item was LEDs. If you want those "high intensity" 


of them in stock. (Again, WTF?) So if you want to buy more than 3 LEDs, 
basically what you have to do is buy a "lucky bag", which just contains 




and a battery holder, both of which were mere pence as you'd expect. So 


And then I walked back into the shop and bought some batteries. Because, 

batteries is pretty much a normal price really.

I have now taken the box of wires back. I was able to buy a 10 m reel of 

However, it's multi-strand (presumably why it's flexible), so now I have 
to go find my soldering iron and some solder so I can tin the ends...
