I've been grass cutting / leaf lifting / bagging up.
A wee smir in the air so I've stopped for a cuppa. Might even venture out again later.
Went down to shop earlier. I've been rota'd to drive tomorrow afternoon even though I've made it clear time and time again we've got friends coming. Hubby is, understandably , livid. Kinda stuck between a rock and a hard place. I can hardly refuse to go out, or just come back early and not bother about the late drops.
I've forewarned our friends I might be late and they're fine about it.
Clear blue skies here now and warm sun but a teeny draught. Have just got home from fetching my camera, picking up some haberdashery I need for my next project, shopping for milk and stuff - have treated OH to some andouillettes he can eat while I'm away next week - and queued ages for more cortisone based anti-itch. They've run out!
Got home to two very excited doggies leaping around like puppies - not helpful when trying to drive in and park car - plus a roly-poly Minstrel who is now grey from the gravel dust. Good job she likes being brushed.
Hope all has gone well for Liri's OH. LP - dogs, cats and babies and, no doubt, any hens will not know the clock has changed. Silly business. Doesn't make any extra daylight, just changes when we have it. I'd rather have longer evenings than lighter mornings tho.

I'm sure the only folk who really benefit are electricity supply companies as we all have to switch our lights on an hour earlier
Can anyone tell me why the clocks go back now, 2 months before the shortest day , but we have to wait until the end of March, 3 months after the shortest day before they go forward.
I was thinking the same Hosta... something to do with the sunrise times an how the natural timings change. I think we need Professor Brian Cox to explain...any geeks out there?? Maybe I'll look it up in the 'extra' hour!

Hi all.
Back at home this weekend, which is lovely.
The news is not good, so I am rather down at the moment, I will tell you about it, when i am feeling more chatty.
Love to all.

Great that you have 'weekend leave' Punk.

Enjoy your evening, and extra hour, everyone!
