But have you set the cat's clock?

I'm not sure that's possible: cats run on cat time and expect their servants owners to conform to it.

Had to do some form filling in today: Rottenburg has a "second home tax" so I need to tell them what my flat costs and why I live here. Fortunately, it looks like I'm exempted because it's for work; the city seems to be targeting people with holiday homes.

I had a nice bank holiday Monday. I went for a long perambulation this morning and cycled about thirty miles in the afternoon.

Sadly, work beckons tomorrow!

Pasta bake and a for supper.

And @Andy in Germany is entirely correct in saying that cats run on time. Their time. Not mine LOL.

But have you set the cat's clock?

Yes and it's running purrfectly.

Time for my weekly dose of Brian Cox and science geekery.

Spent most of the afternoon on the sofa with a book and the radio until just gone 15:00 when the fine drizzle stopped - I spent enough time cycle commuting in all weathers so I'm not going out for a leisure ride in the wet. Went out for just over a hour which is all I needed as the day's fresh air/exercise.

Now having the daily hot chocolate and thinking of an early night as I'm having the survey done for solar panels late on Tuesday morning, so may need to go out early to get a couple of bits for Wednesday's outing.

My Mum fancies Brian Cock. The thought sends shivers down my spine.

I know cars generally have clock adjustment buried somewhere that makes tweaking a Garmin 530 etc look simple but is it the one thing my Fiesta excels in as their is a button specifically for it and labelled as such.

Japanese efficiency with my car as the clock automatically adjusts - must be connected to the DAB radio or SatNav. Just a shame that the SatNav is out of date and they want around £200 for an updated SD card map. Knock off ones are available for much less, but wont use them given my previous work and I still have an old TomTom which gets free updates.

One for @PeteXXX to keep an eye open for.

Does the bag know though?

I'm nearly up.

At the traffic light whilst waiting for the green I decided to turn the car clock back. Instead of one hour it went back two hours, damn! I Looked up and into gear quickly before I get pipped three cars spaces and I’m not moving yet.
At home and the clock is almost set right but close enough.

Morning.
It is grey here but not raining. It is damp out though.
I have been reading Billy Connolly's biography. I'm a slow reader, it's taken me a month and I'm near the past chapter. There was one bit which I found really interesting where he said that he would be thinking about someone ,turn a corner and then bump into them. It's interesting to discover that someone else has had similar experiences to me. It's happened loads of times with me but two occasions whilst on holiday in Cornwall it happened to me. " I wonder where my brother is?" I looked up to see his car drive past.
I don't find it worrying like Billy found it but interesting!

Another nice autumnal morning with blue skies and sunshine.

All ready to start work for another week.
