    I should probably go to bed but when will it ever be this warm and still in March again? I'm sat out in the garden, doing Wordle, sipping a whiskey and listening to the owls, and they're the only noise I can hear (apart from the slight tinitus caused by small children shouting directly into my ear).

    In London. Keen but lazy.

    @Jenny_Aster, to alter my cooker clock, I turn the cooker off at the main switch, wait a few seconds, turn it back on - it should flash '12.00', press the + knob until it gets to the current time . If that's too far, just press the minus knob to adjust. Wait a few seconds and it should stop flashing. That's it. My cooker is an AEG.
    Hope that helps but I suspect every cooker is different.

    Thanks Lizzie, the bit about turning the cooker off and on just might be the trick! Appreciate the tip  :)

    If all else fails stay up until midnight then reset the clocks. I've managed to do the one car which has the clock settings hidden in a sub-menu in the radio even though the clock is on a totally seperate display.

    I don't think frocks, or even films,  will be the talking point this year re The Oscars. 

    If all else fails @Jenny_Aster- switching it off, and switching it back on is so often the solution!  :D

    If only that worked with the Oscar ceremony!   And all the other self indulgent awards stuff.   They're a thinly disguised marketing ploy.  May be a bit more meaningful if the red carpet is blue and yellow this year and waved over people's heads and nit underfoot.

    I don't see why someone who is good at pretending to be someone else is so much more valued/valuable than anyone doing a proper, meaningful job - teaching, caring and medical professions, miners, road sweepers.

    Some of us do enjoy unwinding with a good film.

    The last film I saw in a cinema was the last Harry Potter film. 
    I rarely watch them on TV either.

    Nothing wrong with a good film @punkdoc.   Lots wrong with all the extravagant fuss.

    Don't go to the cinema since COVID, but watch lots of films on TV.
