Coooooeeeeee. Am I first? Wooohoooo. Its lighter nonetheless clocks have gone back, well for a couple of weeks at least. Its damp. It's coolish as well. Rain is expected sometime today as well.

Stay safe peeps.

And as I type, I can hear the rain.

Good morning people, its dry at the moment, a bit breezy and we're starting to see autumn colours in the trees out the back.

Look at the time......its half past next week already.
Its that pain in the asre time when I have to reset the clocks. Most are easy but the one on the cooker is really difficult--I have to dig the brochure out each time. There are only 3 buttons but it just reuses to cooperate.

Thank goodness all the modern gadgets do it automatically. I did the living room clock, oven and microwave last night. I'll do the car next time I use it.

Little 4 mile jog/shuffle done. Sweating buckets as it is still so mild. It is going to be a shock to the system when we do get some cold weather after this.

Morning all

What time is it?
Spent yesterday morning chasing a parcel for MrsD, that Royal Mail insisted it had delivered at 4pm on Friday. We ended up in Barnstaple Royal Mail office, where the guy behind the counter spent time on his computer to see where it was. After a lot of umming and aahing, he said "We've had some problems - we'll call you on Monday".
I've got my own thought as to what has happened. It involves a holiday let around the corner, with the same house number, and Grockles who left on Friday evening.

You hold the one on the far left in whilst completing the operation. Then you toggle between the one in the center and the one on the right*, to reset the time.

*These two are just out of reach of each other, so piano lessons are helpful.

From my Facebook memories in 2017 and a great name for a lane.

From my Facebook page this morning.

Elsa, a 97 year old midwife, finally passed away after a long and happy life. When she arrived at the Pearly Gates, St. Peter was standing there waiting for her.
He said, “Welcome, Elsa. Do you have a last wish before you enter paradise?”
“I do,” Elsa replied. “I would like to return to Earth for a few minutes and for once in my life witness a birth where the father is the one who has to endure the pain of having a baby.”
St. Peter thought this was a reasonable request, so Elsa was sent back to Earth for a short while.
She found herself standing in the home of a woman who was just having a baby. While giving birth, the mother seemed to be in no pain whatsoever.
The midwife was curious to see how her husband was doing, but was surprised to see him calmly sitting on a chair by an open window, smoking his pipe.
“How are you feeling? Aren’t you in pain?” the midwife asked him.
“Oh no, I’m feeling great,” the husband replied. “But I think we have to call for an ambulance. Our neighbour John is lying out there on the lawn screaming his head off!”

Tried Classics idea....no success.
Dug the brochure out and BINGO.
3 buttons.
The one in the middle it the 'function' button.
Press that a few times until the clock shows up.
Then its right for up or left for down.
Once you have the correct time....press the middle one again
