Mostly cloudy today accompanied by steady gentle rain fall. Inspite of forecast we walked out three miles to breakfast unexpectedly in the midst of a local Triathlon event trying to keep out of competitors way and finally arriving at venue mostly dry. Different matter on way home but wth wind mainly behind us, not uncomfortable, even if socks and trousers needing drying out once home. Finaly got round to submitting PPA for solar car port.Sun put in a guest appearance tea time onward to record 2.1 O's.

Morning, hammering down with rain, not a good forecast either. Anyhoo yesterday managed 2.9 Os, fortunately the big yellow made a belated appearance after 1500, when it was looking like only 2 would be the max.
Solcast guesses 3.75 for today, I am willing to bet surprised 🥸
