    Back to normal, today, thought I, and got on with the washing; but Rufus managed 5.2 Os, in spite of what looked like a considerable amount of cloud. So, six Hawaiis or better in as many days. The madness continues....

    Yesterday was the best day so far this year and since August last year at 4.83 O's :j

    The clouds in the morning certainly helped bounce the light on to the panels. Good of them to clear for the afternoon & evening. :rotfl:

    Also, no gas used as the central heating has not come on during the last 4 days, as the heat pump has provided enough to warm the whole house (even with the chilly evenings & mornings) without using any imported electric :)

    ...and 5.3 Os today, making this the seventh day in a row when there was a Hawaii or better. At this rate I shall end up owning my tariff provider. I hope Oscar can join the party before it ends!
