    Pretty grim here as well with the current stormy weather, 0.67 O's today, but thankfully GF is still spinning sweetly so keeping our share of energy generation somewhere close to consumption for now. :)

    I read GF as "girlfriend" and had some questions :D  but on second thoughts I realise you're referring to Ripple's wind turbine at Graig Fatha!

    0.25 O's probably used most of the generation having the lamp on because it was so dark all day and boiling kettle more than normal cos a cuppa cheers you up when it's miserable outside.

    Gets me everytime.

    Massive gen yesterday, nearly 0.2 O's! Doggo settled for an indoor wrestle and tug toy match, as I couldn't really be bothered with a miserable tramp in the rain. [There you go CW - nothing ambiguous about my posts.]

    :) Thanks for lifting the gloom in these darker days guys. Due to my sheltered upbringing I've only got used to using abreviations on here so seldom give a second thought to what else they might/generally stand for!
     
    Anyway, a very welcome 1.99 Oscar's today.
