    Just remembered to check the Met Office anomaly maps for April.

    I would have put money on it being well above average for rain (in Cardiff) in April, but would have lost my money:


    But would have won it back, betting on poor sunshine levels, and for reference we got 80% of target, so about right:



    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.

    For general PV advice please see the PV FAQ thread on the Green & Ethical Board.

    3 O's today, whereby just the thought of 3 O's took me back half a century to Scouting days and one of the songs we used to sing around the campfire as nightime closed in. Anyone remember what the 3 O's stood for back then?
    The other song that came to mind was Darkies Sunday School but suspect that's no longer encouraged if indeed campsongs still even feature!
