Soooooo tired. Too hot. Only sleep I got was on the floor of the kitchen because new guide dog boarder was feeling sad, and unsettled on his first night.
Already watered garden, watered neighbours garden and fed cats (whilst away), tried to water the two dogs but they ran around me, so I watered myself(?).
Already hot again.
Got yet another 30kWh+ yesterday 5.93 O's. Will beat June best, and come close to all time record.
BTW, it's too hot.
PS. Long term forecast is saying this goes on till 8th July (at least) ..... yeh, great, too hot!Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 20kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.

The A/C is the only thing keeping me sane, and I think that claim is already suspect.
Did I mention it's too hot?
PS - Heat has gotten to me, I read the wrong line on spreadsheet, won't beat June best, probably about 30kWh's short, but a lovely 700+ will do nice.

At Sterling Manor, we far falling below our normal 80% usage of our generated electricity. Ever since I fitted the large red light on the outside of the airing cupboard, everyone runs around to use the electricity when the light ignites! Now that light will not go out (-:I have osteoarthritis in my hands so I speak my messages into a microphone using Dragon. Some people make "typos" but I often make "speakos".0

And it's hot.
Anyway, following our best May last month, it looks like it'll be our best June to date at some time tomorrow (fingers crossed) ..... add to that the longest number of consecutive days over 5kWh/kWp and the records do seem to be stacking up recently!
