    Bother, I forgot that the scaffolding going up today is going to clobber the generation. That will end the run of maidens and Hawaiis!

    4.85 O's today, nearly an O above average and taking us level pegging with PVGIS.

    This spell of sunny weather has been great for solar generation, but I can't remember the last the last time it rained, perhaps thee weeks, and the water butt is empty.
    Can't have it always, I guess. :)

    It was dull here for most of the afternoon and I really can't be bothered to move the vacuum cleaner and the ironing board and everything else to read the generation meter (don't judge me!) but the minim is reading 13kWh so I probably generated 10-11kWh, which is around 4O's.
    (Sorry, I'll try harder at the weekend!)
