Tales from today's commute....

[wafter]

Awake before six again thanks to crap bladder; with added misery today courtesy of some laughably bad anxiety dreams.

Out the door at ten past seven; earlier than usual as I had to drop the car off for its MOT.

This annual ritual added about 3.5 miles to the beginning of the ride; which thankfully wasn't a problem given my uncharacteristically competent time management on this occasion.

A sedate ride due to being generally knackered and still feeling the effects of yesterday's trip to the shops. Weather was dry and overcast; chilly but manageble in the zipped baselayer - hands comfortably warm by mile 4 and all of me pretty toasty soon thereafter.

Stopped at the bars for a minute's dead hang then on to the sausagemongers in the city centre. Still had plenty of time by the time I'd got to Iffley lock so I pressed on to Kennington then back on myself to arrive at work nicely on time.

A generally pleasant if somewhat fatigued 14 miles; pushing double the usual journey length. Depending on the outcome of the MOT it'll be another 11-12 back to the garage, or 4ish to the city centre if it's all gone wrong and I need to get the bus. Fingers crossed...

have to agree seems pretty pointless when rest of europe doesnt bother, but then we are not part of the eu anymore

What makes you think the rest of Europe don't bother?

I think all European countries change the clocks in Autumn and Spring, mostly all on the same weekends. They certainly changed in Germany last Saturday/Sunday night, as I was there then and there were notices reminding us to change.

All of the EU changes at the same time as the UK
