    Cheeky! :p


    WNW system falls off a cliff this month, half of Sept generation, then halves again in November, and again (just for fun) in December. Still, it's fun to watch it go back up again I suppose.

    Long Range is looking at good weather this week - into the first two weeks in November; Tidy, Boy !;) :D

    We woz robbed! The weather was nice today, but not the promised solid sun from dawn to dusk. Still hit targets spot on with 5 East and 2 West, but was greedily hoping for more.

    Next 4 days all grey cloud, but then a nice end to October, if the forecasts can be believed. It might be time to deploy Eric and his fabled seaweed again?

    It's not my seaweed - all I've ever done is to suggest the Met Office ought to invest in a new sprig of the stuff.

    Today was pretty strange. Solid sunshine all day here (11.96 kWh with my shallow roof this late in the year has to be good). But OH spent the morning about 15 mls NE of here and tells me she saw no sun at all - just thick fog.
