Having just had a new #solar and #battery system installed at home, there's a high chance of stats and system updates being posted.

@boffbowsh we had the same problem last night and had to grab for the stop valve under the kitchen sink.

"It's too hot"!!!!

For the last couple of days I've been starting work an hour early to try to avoid the heat of the afternoon a little. Today I remembered to log off at 16:00. To be fair, that was kinda forced on me because our little home office was 32.5°C and I was having trouble focusing on $dayjob. When you're working on the Cisco cli, that's a recipe for disaster, so I called it quits before I accidentally pushed something into prod.

We're due for another day of much the same tomorrow and then again on Friday (Saturdays but looking great either) but we're also not getting any cool weather or wind to help pull the heat out of the house overnight so it's been gradually increasing.

I'm really looking forward to a high of 19°C on Sunday

Just saw someone refer to the reflecting pool as "The Strait of Warm Ooze" and okay, that's a pretty good one

Me: "It's a mouse pad, not a cat pad."

@neil I've been keeping an eye on lightning maps but it looks like all the fun is happening down south.

Heading to bed and it's still 24°C in the bedroom. It's gonna be a challenging week, with forecast highs in the low 30's during the day this week, that's for sure.

much more accurate
