The Retirement Thread

And this morning it was Monday!

Yes but was it next Monday or last Monday.

Yet another thrilling night of sod all on the box I see.

Don't forget your clocks go forward tonight.

All the manual ones indoors done but tomorrow I will have to tackle the car one. Can never remember how and it is not straightforward. The owners manual tells you all sorts of useless things but makes a mystery of how to set the clock. Invented by a sadist and it usually takes me a hour of swearing at least to get it set.
My old Ducato was easy but the Peugeot is not.

Well, if it was next Monday the changing of the clocks has already taken place. Last Monday, you've the best part of six days to get ready for it.

Forward. We will lose an hour.

Spring forward. Fall back

We don't do "Fall" over here!

We don't do "Fall" over here!

I know. But spring forward Autum back doesn't sound right.

I know. But spring forward Autum back doesn't sound right.

And fall starts with an "F" as does forward.

And if you've followed Welsh Dragon's advice, you might have to wait a while.

Bugger! Bugger! Bugger! It isn't 6.40 (well it isn't, but is, if you see what I mean) it's really 5.40.

Woke at 6.00. Thinking that was a good sleep till I realised it's 5.00 in old money. I'll finish this coffee and try for a doze. Should have read the thread last night then I might have changed the clocks.

Blowing a gale. Rain hammering on the windows.

Morning. A tad 🌬🍃🌪 here this morning. Don’t think it’s as cold though.

 

[Dave7]

I crashed out early again last night but was awake 0430 real time.
Eventually got up at 0530.
Thought we had burglars as the conservatory light was on and I was certain it was off last night.
I have a timer so plug the electric fire in so as to come on early........turns out That while resetting the clock I had, in error, plugged the lamp in .
Very piddly here but not too cold.
Blimey Tuesday is now showing 21°......what's all that about?

Don’t keep it all to yourself Only showing 14 here

 

[Dave7]

Don’t keep it all to yourself Only showing 14 here

I will see what I can do but if its showing 21 here what is it showing in Dirkland?
