    A refreshing change today with 2.08 O's. Thought we surpassed pvgis today but then realised the figure needed adjusting to take into account SE's 3.2% optimism. Hence we require another single kWh over the next three days. No where near last years Jan figure. A mere 10 O's required for that. :D
