    Yet another glorious above average March day. That's 11 out of 12 so far...

    South East is having a smashing time!



    Agreed, Jimmyboy. We've had over 60% of our monthly estimated kW/hours in the first twelve days, with five Hawaiis, including one today. With more than 5 Os for three days running, I award myself a small silver spoon.

    It has been a sunless day in Central England. I will not achieve 2 Os today. I may as well declare early.
    I have osteoarthritis in my hands so I speak my messages into a microphone using Dragon. Some people make "typos" but I often make "speakos".
