    A poor day in Lincolnshire...

    0.47 O's

    :(

    I guess some cutlery may be heading my way.

    About the same as me 1961Nick, it's just that I can't be bothered to do the maths. I am also in North Lincs in a place known for its sun!

    1.43 O's (5.59kWh)

    A long day down the Hospital today, came home with migraine and a broken car as a tree branch leapt out from a tree, landing on the road in front of my car on the way this morning, smashing the nearside headlight and scratching up the paintwork a bit. Grrr. Not happy.

    There were hours of sunlight at the Centre of England (near Meriden) but hardly Merlin-like performance. 5780/3780 = 1.53 O's.

    Just tipped 100 kWh for the month, but too far adrift of the 121 kWh needed to meet January's PVGIS.

    It may fall out the sky, but it's unlikely to settle given how mild it is.
    Only one thing to say to that smiley-finger007.gif

    I guess I should think myself lucky for only having a damaged headlight and a bit of paint yesterday...

    Cars smashed by falling tree in Southampton

    On a positive note - look at all that firewood!

    We escaped the snow bullet last night. A lot of liquid fell from the sky, but it wasn't frozen, so I will get at least a fraction of an O today, hopefully more - looking rather cloudy though.

    The migraine still lingers though, so not sure how capable i'm going to be :(
