    Glorious sunny day here today!!


    Washer on and nearly finished!!!


    Should be over estimate for today again!! Thanks to removing that chimney. I still miss it though and the roof area doesn't look as nice with a black stove pipe sticking out of it on the east side. The removed chimney was on the south side!! It had to go though as it was shading 4 of the top 6 panels. Then later in the day after lunch it was still shading the very top panel. So definitely a job well worth doing. We will see what a difference it has made properly by the beginning of July when we have a full years reading since removing it!!

    Meanwhile, not so far west of Daventry it's an astonishing good day. I am, at 15:53, a little short of my first 4 Os.

    Well in going to call it for today, and its worse than yesterday. My geo monitor arrived as well, how very depressing. 1.95kwh/ 0.80 Os.

    I have only been recording day by day for the current month and switch to total at month end, but I think this has been my worst 2 days since install.
