    Drier than many recent days but dull and not much sun here. 8.1kWh, 2.98 O's.

    Unrelated, I was due to have smart meters fitted today and dutifully stayed home from work to meet the installer. Alas when he phoned to say he was on his way it turned out EDF had only sent him out to replace my gas meter, not both gas and electric. So he cancelled the appointment and I need to re-book!
