Oooh! Cheaper night rate leccy until 08:30 now! 😎

I'm wondering can I ask for a discount on my bill as I've had an hour less in bed.

This morning it's the Lincolnshire Retro/Vintage ride from south Lincoln and it's a tad blowy here.

So .... a pre-ride coffee and warm pain au chocolat is required as I've arrived early and we start into a headwind.

It's Bed Stripping & Car Washing Day today.

Got up at 7:30 and a minute later realised it was 8:31. The oven will continue telling me it's about half a day out and I will continue ignoring it because it's a faff to change.

Sunny but very windy. Washer on. Only changed two clocks, that on the variable central heating thermostat and that on the boiler. Most are automatic but as usual the analogue one hasn't changed yet. Clock in the spare room I never reset to GMT, theres a clock on a weather station that I never look at for the time and the cooker and microwave work without a time being set. Leaves the car to do.

Good morning from Suffolk where it's another bright and sunny start to the day, but a very breezy one judging by the way the trees the other side of the rail line are swaying. Coffee has been had. All that's to be done today is a ride round to see mum later this morning.

The good news is that the two clocks I thought may have been self adjusting aren't so everything here is now on BST. There is one exception which is the heating timer, but as that won't be needed until we go back to GMT later in the year there's no point in changing it.

In the 15 years I have been doing my rainfall measurements this is the driest start to a year. 243mm in the first 3 months this compares to the wettest in 2016 of 524 mm

can I take my mud guards off yet - or will that herald the wettest spring ever

 

[lazybloke]

I've pressed random buttons on the stove to no avail; the kitchen is still on GMT

And wow, the clock in my car will be right again, until autumn

 

[PeteXXX]

There's only the garden clock to change now.. The other 4 manual alterations were done before bed last night.
Car clock will auto-sort when I next use it; probably Friday morning @ 02:15

When I was cleaning the car this morning I managed to wrap the hosepipe around the bucket of hot suddy water so that when I yanked it it toppled the bucket over and filled my shoes up.
Ssves washing my feet, I suppose..

Definitely very windy out there. Hard work even with the ebike. Went round to see mum & step father but typically they were out - probably at a garden centre not buying anything but having a lunch in the café knowing them.

A second coffee has been had and I think that a walk is in order. Not going anywhere near Felixstowe and the sea front having seen how busy it was earlier.

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

That grilled cheese on toast brunch has made me all sleepy. Time for reclaiming that lost hour.

Gone midnight, and my son is hoovering his bedroom.

That's a tough one to deal with.

Son hoovering room, surprise or suspicion.
After midnight? Social sensitivity?

I have one of those. He tells me he was late getting up because he was playing music last night. His night seems to end about my breakfast.
I'm also his landlord. So have to send him a warning letter following representations from the management company.
How did I get here?
