Me too.

I have a 200 mile day tomorrow and am changing the finish time from 7am to 4am and will see what I get when I plug in after that.

Slightly unrelated, we have jumped right back into non solar World with an 11 person portion of chilli con cooked last night and sticky red cabbage with apples from the garden.

All on the WBS, the cabbage is about a 6 hour cook, perfect for WBS.

Going to try to get to Oct before charging the Storage Heaters on IO.

Trying a new slant with SWMBO, said to her 'you say when you want them to start'. No resentment that way, she has the power. :twisted:

I lit the WBS last night, and put the 1 storage heater on.

12.5 deg C outside temps at the moment.

Yep I have had a request from the boss to light the stove after tea to warm the lounge through, quite a rare request

That is nice 👌
Is it all isolated from outside air in the lum?

It seems that yesterday was tail, tail end Summer and today most certainly isn't!

Right into it though, Winter cooking and a lamp made up from brokies and a Turkish 4W Dubai style bulb.

Nice wind speeds for the site though when everything is up and connected :D

We have had torrential rain here this morning and its so overcast we are only generating 200Wp from 3.6kWp.

Chicken Curry is made ready for tea and we are just having a coffee and a sit down as the boys are all at ysgol (school) and the rug rat is having his 11 am nap time so its calm and quiet.

No WBS today though as the living room is sat stubbornly at 21.2 degrees C and the boss has vetoed further lighting until the stone walls have given back a little more of their stored heat.
