    4.72 O's


    Passed 500 kWh's for the month today. Need to average 2.5 O's for the next 5 days to beat best July to date.

    Oh....I have found out who is responsible for this heatwave and also the one in 1976. The Mice! ;):D;)

    Well this Carnival weekend started at the seafront with a Proms night. You've guessed it, the rain arrived half way through after a six week drought. Despite our best efforts in previously erecting our gazebo we had to submit to the elements along with everyone else. Although I don't think anyone could do other than welome the much needed rain. At least we saw, heard one full set!
    Fortunately today, still sufficient sunshine to previously record 5.9 O's and overtake June's total. Another couple of days may see us threatening May's also!:beer:
    It's still raining. Hopefully the water butt taps are in the off position!
