CBS, etc, and a chilly 5C on our walk earlier. A little mist in the valleys and a lot of dew on the grass. Looks like a pleasant day. Off to the airport later to go visit my dad.

Should the ex-pats/migrants who fled the UK for tax purposes be charged for repatriation flights if they are now desperate to come to the UK again?

All these out of work contractors could be put to use. They should start with the ones who want to work remotely, get the ones who are in Spain to go to Cyprus....

Misty out, but dry and pleasantly warm.

Some light cloud, but mostly blues skies and sunny here. Was 10C at 6am, so a lighter jacket was the order of the day for our walk. Back in, one load of washing (dog towels) on the line already, next load in the machine.

The guy who invented the Ferris wheel never met the guy who invented the merry-go-round.

Scooter is just showing us graphs, the ones that say the sky is falling are very important and 100000% correct (even if completely irrelevant or taken out of context). The ones that say things are improving must be ignored.

Because there's a difference between kW and kWh.
Edit: 24 x 490W panels = 11,784W. For UK calculations of approximate output, you'd multiply that by 3 this time of year, so in a day it would be about 35kWh generated. In summer you'd multiply by 5....

12C feels like 10C out, mizzle earlier that appears to be lifting a little.

Another misty one here, currently 10C feels like 9C. Dawn chorus was in full flow at 6:15 and even with the mist neither of us needed torches.

Misty earlier, but by about 6:20 that was burning off and the dawn chorus was under way. Neither Max nor I needed a torch on. 10C, feels like 9, no wind apart from the cabbage from last night's dinner.

Yesterday I learned that I can ask my car for gardening tips, and that when I say "thank you" a minute or so later, it wishes me good luck in growing the plants in question.

A very pleasant 9C out with no wind, no rain and just some high level cloud.
Head torch not needed from 6:40 on our walk
