  Welcome back Wassock. And there was I thinking you might be having a nice extended Xmas break, maybe skiing or cruising the world or something......!! So you had a socket blowing Xmas, not a mind blowing one 😦

  Hahaha ... Welcome to the world of broadband blackout. A regular feature of life in the hills round here. Good to see you back online. 😃

  There won't be any lightning on Mars - will there?

  Think there is - there's dust clouds and ice clouds so ought to be a bit of static.

  Nice link - thanks. I'm glad I raised it as a question. Not totally proved, but highly likely. Fascinating stuff.
