After a glass of wine yesterday I paid £25 to Ripple for ownership option on Project 4 . Does anyone know what this may be ? and a timescale ?

A day of firsts, first day of a hard frost and also first day since Spring when we've used more power at home than generated between home PV & GF. :o

As a happy co-incidence, fleeing to Turkey tomorrow via Edinburgh so VB can continue its climb to that mythical 70% SOC. :lol:

Yesterday afternoon we spotted the first sprinkle of snow on the shoulders of Mt Snowdon, last night I closed up the hen coop to keep the ladies all cosy and this morning it was chill but because of the shift in the weather pattern we are now back to having a high cloud base so overcast days are still generating days (albeit at lower levels) and we get more cold clear sunny days like today :D

First air frost of the season last night which was a bit of a surprise as overnight temps suggested 6 degrees so hadn't yet set early morning heating programme especially with expected overnight temps in double digits for the coming week. Never mind it's days like this when I'm jolly glad we had the the ashp's installed. :D
