Remember to change your clocks

[Noodley]

I haven't changed some of my clocks since Spring so I should be okay. I just have to work out which ones I changed and which ones I did not....

My sun dial is always right.

Mine's been running slow under moderate cloud today

(No button pushing or knob twiddling here until 1st Nov for some reason.)

My clock by the bed is one of those radio-controlled ones that gets a signal from Frankfurt or Dusseldork or similar.

I read somewhere the Germans are not changing their clocks at the same time as us this October.

That leaves me in a mess then, being approx one quarter German.
(and one eighth Russian)

So I need to change my clock by half an hour.

I crossed Canada by train many years ago. It got very confusing changing the clocks most days and twice in one day. For meals I had to decide whether to go by the clock time, or by "Tummy" time - ie the time interval since you last had a meal.

Wouldn't that be "... are driven to and from school in the dark..."? It seems pretty unfashionable for children to walk anywhere these days!

Steady, they breed 'em tough in the Highlands, they have to. Mine cycled, scooted or walked when we lived there, no namby, pamby lifts.

I crossed the International Date Line 20 years ago flying from Fiji to Hawaii, and when someone asked me when I arrived there, I didn't know whether to say, er, today, ER, yesterday, ERR tomorrow!

I don't think I've recovered!

Does anyone have a VDO bike computer manual, I can never remember how to reset the time?

I only do it once a year as the clock gains...

Yes it's all jolly discombobulating

I do but I can't be arsed to look for it now, Bags. I'll have a look tomorrow if you're still stuck

Even more discombobulating - I got off the train after nearly four days, and felt seasick once back on dry land.

Also discombobulating was travelling on the "wrong" track as we passed other trains (very slowly). Fortunately I met a man who just happened to be a Manager of the Line from Winnipeg to Churchill (where the bears are) and he explained about satellite tracking.

The sea freezes tight all around this island so "sea legs" are hard to develop in winter! And yes the bears, crazy really... it's like a big zoo over here except there are no bars.

Off licences though, surely?

Ta! If I can remember first time whether it's the right or left button you hold down I'll be ok...
