    Not bothered as the Sun is out as my Grandson is staying for the week. So a 5 month baby to brighten the place up.:D

    Sorry to hear about your poor PV - maybe you should move south of the Humber :rotfl:

    Last nights online bbc forecast was for cloud cover for every hour of the day today, so delighted when the sun came out sufficiently to record only our second Hawaii of the month.:D

    Oh yes more electricity used! Why does the washing machine need to go on when its dark? Then they want to put the tumble dryer on! :eek: If they had waited till the morning the sun was out and would have dried it all for free!

    Why do young people have to have all the lights on? I am sure my house could be seen by the ISS last night!

    A good morning north or the Humber yesterday! ;) but a poor afternoon.

    Ended with 4.03 O's so very happy there!

    In the end happy to put up with more electric used as my Grandson lives 200 miles away in Suffolk so we only go down to see him once every 6 weeks.
