I remember when I was about 5 years old helping my father lay out apples on trays which were kept overwinter in a cool place. I think they were wrapped in tissue paper but not sure on that point. It was important that they did not touch each other in the trays. No idea about variety tho'.

Back after a nice 30 miles out on the bikes and just in time to watch the F1 qualifying.
Sun is shining nicely rained well during the night at one point so a bit damp underfoot.

Okay, just turn your telly off.
You don't want much, the sun, the moon the stars...

Dry day so far but still a cold northerly wind.
Rain is forecast for every day just now but it never seeems to reach us.
Nothing planned but will spend at least half an hour trying to reset the clock in my car with the aid of the vehicle handbook. Since I am often heading for ferries which do not wait accurate time can be important to me.
I notice it looked like a full moon last night. It is widely accepted that a full moon affects many people so I wonder if the rise in accidents has a connection with a full moon and nothing to do with the time change.
When my wife was a teacher she always maintained that pupils got more restless at a full moon.
Another example is county councillor we knew who kept a record of complaints he got from the public. He said there was a definite rise up to a full moon and then a lull till the next one.

Good morning from a bright and sunny Suffolk. It won't last.

I prefer the Douglas Adams version - Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.To paraphrase you know who, "Time is an illusion, albeit a persistent one"
Why is there always one clock that gets missed when doing the BST/GMT or GMT/BST changes? This time it was the display on the landline handset that was still showing the wrong time when I looked earlier.
Only in theory have five to change. Boiler, digital thermostat, one clock, the car and a watch. Never bother setting the time of the oven and microwave and rest should be automatic. However, have one time signal clock that ever since the Brexit vote has not readily corrected itself. Wil see if it's changed by early afternoon.
I don't have a landline handset.
