Just like everyone else, I suspect, I’ve received five or six new seed catalogues in the past couple of weeks. These are always a ray of sunshine amongst the gloom of the cold midwinter, but I wondered whether anyone could help me with an item that I've found in none of those, but which might greatly affects my success in a certain area of my garden. (Y’see, you’re beginning to get a wee bit interested now, aren’t you?).
I’ve had a quick whizz through the catalogues, and I’ve had a good look online, but I’m struggling to find a pressurized water sprayer with one of the ‘up and over’ curved (or hooked) lances that are suitable for watering hanging baskets and such like.
I fully accept that one or two people might be thinking, 'Don't expect us to go trawling through the 'net for you. Get on line and look for it yourself like everybody else!' but if anyone could recommend one I’d be pleased to bits as I got myself soaked on numerous occasions last summer whilst I was trying to water them (the hanging baskets) whilst standing on my step ladder (that new, blue one that I bought when I first moved in).
It (the step ladder) actually wobbled quite a bit when I got slightly off balance, at least, I thought it did, but I might have been imagining it but that was enough to make me wobble a bit myself, which probably explains why I thought the ladder was wobbling too, even though it was probably only me wobbling on it first of all.
I would have thought it’d be a pretty easy search to make as I know such things exist, but I’ve drawn a blank so far, so any suggestions at all would be very gratefully received. I realise that some of you might be also be thinking ‘Why don’t you just buy a lance and fit it on that hose you’ve got in the outhouse’ and that would be a perfectly reasonable thing to say, but I struggled all summer with trying to get the hose attachment to fit properly on my taps and suffered further soakings there, so I’m selling the hose off and plumping instead of a pressure sprayer if I can but find one suitable for purpose.
Could anyone help me with this, please, by way of any suggestions, tips or other recommendations on a really good such sprayer I could buy? I realise again that some of you might be thinking 'Get yourself idle self off Facebook and have a proper look yourself’ but if anyone could recommend one I'd be eternally* gratefully for your help.

*Actually, probably not quite 'eternally' but for quite a longish time. Certainly well beyond next weekend, and possibly a lot longer if it works as well as you say...
