    Keep smiling Jedski, the sun'll be out tomorrow - well, one of these tomorrows, maybe!

    5.1 here, 0.1 above target, still, can't grumble, 5 nice looking days starting from tomorrow, according to the forecast, so at least the water butts will be nice and full. Again.

    PS. Turns out it was Oscar laughing at you. He won't be laughing when you set your soggy ducks, and chucks on him. Hard to laugh when you've gone down with bird flu!

    Despite more than our fair share of deluges so far this month, we've notched up 6.5, 9.2, 6.3 & 6.6kWh over the last four days. PVGIS estimate is 4.2kWh/day so pretty happy with that. We certainly need it with the arrival of our 2nd daughter this week and all the extra washing that comes with newborns.

    Very pRoud indeed, and pretty tired but not as much as Mrs SDJ.

    In theory we should be able to utilise more of our generation (eg through daytime cooking) than last year when she was at work 4days and I worked from home.
