Thought for the day :"There has been reported that there has been an increase of thefts of bells recently. Police believe it could be the start of a chimewave"
Rain (just a little)
Found the settings for the inverter again today - for future reference it is the Inverter settings, and adjust the timed charge option. Have set it to charge the battery for two hours at 3am so as to give us more power in the day at the cheaper nigh time rate.
Spent quite a time on the computer doing some calculations. Looked at the figures for electrical use last year and seems that last year our electric charges including daily standard charges which amount to a sickening £180, but actual bills look to be about £1000 for last year. However we have to addon the cost of coal which looks to be going at 8 bags a month - or £96 and we have had heating from September or £700 per annum. Add to that a trailer of logs at £180, and the use of 2 and a half loads (we have some left at the moment)_gives us another £400 meaning that an electrical cost of £2100 would be comparable to our usage last year - perhaps more as the daily rate has increased as well as the costs. We shall see.
In other news, it has been a slow day today - working on the computer mainly though walked the dogs this morning.
The chickens seem to be getting used to having Welsh spoken to them as we leave the radio on Radio Cymru as the main talking radio channel we can find in the chicken compound. We have the radio on to try to trick the fox into thinking that there are people there. we shall see how we get on.
