    Smashed yesterday's result with a monster 1.8. Nice week of sunshine only 4 days away. Why is it always 4 days away according to the weather forecast, and why do the little sunshine symbols change to grey clouds when they get to 24hrs away? Ho hum!

    Things must be bad when I'm celebrating getting 2.51kWh. We actually got some sunshine in the afternoon!

    Third bad day in a row - just 825Wh !

    But month of October has really been quite good. PVGIS predicts 196 kWh for whole month; with 7 days left to run I've already had 196.6 so if this damned cloud ever lifts I might get somewhere near last Octobers 245 kWh.
