    Nice day, warmer than yesterday so production peak not as high.

    Hawaii + 0.93 O's

    Passed April 2018 total before midday. Need an average of 4.25 O's eachday for rest of the month to be my best April.

    94% of estimate in the bag.

    No Hawaii's yet this year, but Sunday came close with 4.93 O's.

    April prediction now at 108%. Should pass April 2018 total today.

    Don't know if it's the nice weather, but the last week has been really pleasant with lots of animal 'things' falling into place. Our current ex-feral foster (who couldn't settle at the rescue) has stopped biting me maliciously, and only does it playfully now, and gets a forever home on Friday. Our new Trainee guide dog boarder is a star and there's mutual love between him and our own dog (withdrawn trainee we adopted last year). Our cat (also ex-feral) has stopped chasing the new boarder and decided he likes being in the garden with them. And the resident dominant swans on the local lake usually hatch their signets around the 20th+ of April, so expect to see them proudly being shown off any day now.

    And loads and loads of generation, what a lovely week. :)
    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.

    Still haven't had my first Wink of the year (4O's), but yesterday got a Hawaii with 5.34 O's, so I'm not complaining.
