    Is that a SW thing too? I've got a "Flash" (who's currently disconnecting the DVD player from the TV by sinking his razor like teeth into the HDMI cable) and a "Ninja" who's a stealthy little !!!!!! that magically appears under your feet.

    It's been shortened from 'Gone in a Flash'. He started turning up 3 years ago, stealing food from the conservatory, always when late and dark. All we ever saw was a big tabby tail disappearing out the catflap, but turned out he's mostly white. Took 2 years to win him over, then seeing he was very ill with a massive puss leaking abscess we decided to act.

    I waited till he was in the conservatory, locked the catflap, and jumped on him. After a brief but heroic battle, I went outside to pick up the bits of catflap that were scattered across the garden, whilst reinforcements (in the form of Wifey and a thick towel) were mobilised, then when he returned, we catnapped him.

    Doesn't look like any targets are going to be reached today or tomorrow, grey, grey and thrice grey.

    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.

    I spend a whole day in an insurance training course in rooms with no windows. Had no opportunity to see the sum, so it was unexpected and pleasing that I made 1.8 Os. My best day since installation.

    Am I today's winner?
    I have osteoarthritis in my hands so I speak my messages into a microphone using Dragon. Some people make "typos" but I often make "speakos".
