I might have gone over the top with winding the clocks back.....apparently it's now a week last Tuesday 
My Bro and Sis i Law were due to visit today but he has just cried off as his back is bad.
Will be a tv sports day then.
Slight problem as I have defrosted the chicken breasts and got ready-to-eat noodles.

I had a change of mind and got the bike out for an hour followed by a quick change of gear and did a walk. Well timed as it's clouded over now and there's a few spots of rain starting.

Bonjour. Just a thought: if you were born at 2 am on the day the clocks go back, then you get two birthdays one hour apart.

As long as you weren't born on 29th February, then you'd have to wait 3 years for your two birthdays.

Forecast my me and Bruce's mini break in the peaks is looking increasingly wet and cold, with chilly high winds. Cant wait! We're ready for it.

My grandma, my Dad's Ma, was a 29th February baby. By the time she died I was older than her.
Im a 27th Feb chap, so narrowly avoided that fate.
A mixture of clocks that change automagically and those that need manual intervention. Microwave has a dedicated time of day button. Cooker and hob are manual as is the clock on the mantlepiece. Watch and phone automatic, had the option of leaving the one in the lounge as it is, thereby creating a time portal between the lounge and the ktchen enabling me to travel back in time and rescue the toast before it burns and sets the smoke alarms off...
I have been giving this some serious thought. In fact I went as far as to cogitate on the matter.
IF we rejoin Europe and 'they' decide to do away with this summer time malarkey then you (along with your birthday) would slip into a dark hole and simply disappear.
Hope this helps.

Just think, if you were born in between 01:00 and 02:00(Before the clocks went back), your next birthday would be an hour later. Same time, same date.
And it'd continue like that for the rest of your life. So apart from the few years when BST was abandoned in an experiment, you'd have two birthdays every year.

You have a best shed........that implies three? Good, better, best. I have a friend whose known is Johnny Two Sheds but three.......
My best shed is so named as it contains my bicycles and has the best alarm..
The others don't.. Just gardening, paints & boring stuff.. 👍
Daughter, grandson & I are there on Wednesday..
Which part is honoured with your presence?
