    A very interesting 24hrs - took the reading from Gen meter last evening and it was 6.9kWh as posted.... This morning, hit the screen on DeskTop Gizmo and, I had done 10.1kWh by 09:00! :j :think: Think it must have been caused by all the fireworks going off over the roof :silenced: I was looking forward to at least a 12kWh reading tonight from the meter....sadly only 2kWh.:rotfl:

    Another glorious start to the day in cider country helped us to an 11.5kWh, despite afternoon clouds. Our SE orientation doesn't lend itself to decent generation after 2/3ish at this time of year, so it's always nice to see clear blue skies first thing in the morning.

    A double dose of two figures in the Thames Estuary on SE facing panels:
    16 (!) yesterday & 11.1 kWh today :T

    Short day though, the second load of washing must wait until tomorrow for drying!?

    I want to go back to "Summer Time all the time" as in the 1960s.
