    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.

    Apologies for non generation waffle, but I went for a peek (with a k) today, and Mrs Swan now has signets with her on the nest, which I assume will be shown off with pride in a few days time.

    Nature's amazing, you can almost set your calendar by it.

    Now, if I could just get my first Hawaii of the year ......... ;)

    Reg. for FIT Nov 2011. "It's not what you generate; it's how you use it that matters". One very clean Vauxhall Diesel Sri, £30.00 Road Tax: B)

    Definition of 'O's = kWh/kWp (kWh = your daily & accurate Generation figure) (kWp = the rated output of your PV Panels).
