For me, May has been below average compared with an above average April. Sadly, was 4 away from previous PB yesterday, final figures were,

54 kWh Solar
58 kWh WT1
Total - 112 kWh

Cant complain, had worse days. :lol:

The TM3 should manage to get to 100% today on the Solar as I am doing an airport run tomorrow to pick up the mother and sister of SWMBO. I am recalling politically incorrect mother in law jokes in my head from the late Les Dawson. ;)

Looks as if they' be doing a website upgrade tomorrow, hopefully with increased data on the volumes/tally per person.

Dawson was epic. My personsl fave of that era was Eric Morecambe.

Some of Les Dawson's stuff is best consigned to history, I think. (or enjoyed but recognising how wrong it is)
Q: "How would you like to talk to your mother-in-law?"
A: "Through a medium!"

Did anyone else read the Reggie Perrin books? they were really good, I remember the brother-in-law
"Have you got any food? (or "I don't suppose you have got anything to eat?") Sorry, a bit of a cock-up on the catering front!"
had an affair with the daughter and the two of them had to explain away why they were coming in soaked (in a spell of dry weather) after the golf course sprinklers had come on while they had been lying together in a bunker!

looking for info on the books I found wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fall_ ... ald_Perrin) says
The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin is a British sitcom starring Leonard Rossiter in the title role. It is based on a series of novels written by David Nobbs and produced from 1976 to 1979. Nobbs adapted the screenplay for the first series from the novel. Some of its subplots were considered too dark or risqué for television and were toned down or omitted.
and
Perrin's brother-in-law Major Jimmy Anderson, an army officer with no grasp of organisation or leadership, coming to eat because of a "bit of a cock-up on the catering front"
The page on David Nobbs gives the books as
The Death of Reginald Perrin (1975, later reissued as The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin)
The Return of Reginald Perrin (1977)
The Better World of Reginald Perrin (1978)
These are so old now that a second-hand booksearch webite is probably the best way to find them.

She's airborne on the first leg after a 10 hour bus journey yesterday, only another 17 hrs to go. :shock:
