Sorry to disabuse you, the amount of daylight doesn't change.

The discussion of deliveries reminded me, Mrs MY had some flowers delivered Monday, but we couldn't figure out who they were from. When I went out with the dog in the evening, I noticed a square of soggy card/paper on the drive which answered our questions.

It was not uncommon for it to snow after the clocks went forward & I resumed commuting by motorcycle.

That's GMT, it's 02:00BST
In the days of mechanical master clocks, our workshop housed the clock, so if you were on shift that Sunday morning you had the joy of adjusting the clock & then checking the slave clocks & timestamps.
I've only just adjusted the clock in the car. For some strange reason, car clocks never keep good time.

Another hospital visit. Expected to arrive at least 20 minutes early but a nearly 40 minute wait at the bus station for an "every 10 minutes" service saw a 6 minute late arrival. Bus was truncated into a short to Starbeck and even so was packed. The driver said all the buses were out but market day in Knaresborough, school holidays and road works were combining to throw the service into chaos.

Grey & blustery here chez Casa Reynard, and it's attempting to rain.
Slept only so-so. Good first half of the night, and then the old too hot, too cold tango with the bedclothes. So I do not feel terribly rested. As a result, I have had a quiet morning doing all those little things that aren't important but that need doing.
Just received a phone call, supposedly from the power company wanting to check loft insulation and offer advice. I told them to go take a hike because it sounded decidedly fishy. In any case, my loft has both fibre and bead stuff covered by boards, not just the floor, but the roof joists as well. And I know it's good, because whenever we get a frost, that takes all day to melt - the only bit that actually melts is the bit around the chimney stack.
I had better have some luncheon. I am being mithered for chicken.

Lunchtime stroll completed under grey and blue skies with a chilly breeze in one direction.
Or UTC as it's occasionally known..

Just had to get the bedding in off the whirlygig as it's starting to rain. The good news is that it's bone dry after about an hour in the very stiff breeze (as I found out when going shopping).
The car's seats also look more white than grubby grey having been over them with the leather cleaner.

At least being in Ireland you got the spelling right. Unlike the idiots who persist in adding a letter e to Scotch.

Bitterly cold with snow on the nearby hills on Ardnamurchan and as far up Loch Sunart as can be seen.
After having been parked at the local surgery the car suddenly developed a strange cracking noise. Down to the garage where they found both front springs broken. Safe to drive locally with care but no further.
Since I am stuck without a car just as well I can drive locally ar least. At my advanced age there is probably no chance of hiring one either.
Booked in for replacement which they can manage on Monday 8th April being as they always claim extremely busy.
Since I got booked on a ferry off on the following day it is cutting it a bit close.

Presently, I'm cleaning the Tassimo machine. I've pinged off the ping-offable bits, scraped the grotty bits off, reassembled it and am running the ckeanibg disc through. That bit takes ½hr.
After this, ill get the chance to test ride my CX after fitting a new rear Derailleur, chain & gear cable. 👍
