COLD DARK ROOM

[CarolM]

Yvonne!. Do I need to remind you that you are part of this group of nut jobs [emoji849] That makes you one too

Welcome to the madness Kelly!

Well said Linda.

 

[CarolM]

At the moment. I think they're a bit like the Hogwarts stairs, you can't actually guarantee where they'll be.

That definitly thickens the plot.

Moves the clocks back an hour in the autumn and forward and hour in spring.

It was supposed to make the mornings lighter for workers in the winter months. The practicality in most places is that

- the country/time zone is so big that it makes little difference to those in the extreme north ,(Northern Hemisphere) or South (Southern Hemisphere) as the days are too short anyway

- the whole thing was decided before electric lighting was common and when people worked in more manual (often outdoor jobs)

- farmers hate it. To quote a farmer my parents knew who flatly refused to change his clocks "The cows don't understand"

- half the country can't remember which way the clocks go (spring forward, fall back)

It does sound rather complicated to me. I would have a serious problem if I had to get up earlier for part of the year but would love it when I could sleep later. Lol .

 

[CarolM]

Well it is dishes for me and then bed. Good night all. Enjoy the rest of your Monday.

Sleep well Carol. We are about to sit down for dinner (7pm)

That is about right. We are 2 hours ahead of you.

This may be true.

That's my face when I had to get up this morning! The time change this weekend has me all messed up. Wish US would get rid of "daylight savings" so I can leave my clocks alone

Denmark is doing it next weekend I think. Awful

 

[Kristoff]

You've got quite a wait, as I'm in the U.S. and have to mail the packages overseas.

I’ll be down to the elbows by then!

 

[Kristoff]

Good afternoon all. I had governor duties this morning - pupil discipline panels * sigh *

All dealt with, but then I received a text from our decorator asking if he could come on Thursday to paint son’s bedroom so I had to rush out to get the paint.

The colour was decided, but our town DIY store closed down so I had to drive half an hour to the far side of Tunbridge Wells to get it.

I now have 2 and a bit days to pack the room up so I had better roll my sleeves up and get on with it

Lots to do! Hope you’ll have time to pop in before Thursday.

 

[Kristoff]

Looks like you're going to fit right in with this group of nut jobs, Kelly.

I do nut understand...

 

[Kristoff]

What does daylight savings actually do?

Makes you waste an hour trying to figure out what time it is?

 

[Kristoff]

Well it is dishes for me and then bed. Good night all. Enjoy the rest of your Monday.

Sorry I missed you. Good night, Carol!

 

[Kristoff]

Sleep well Carol. We are about to sit down for dinner (7pm)

Bon appetit, Linda!

We're the last Saturday in March for the clocks going forward.

 

[Kristoff]

We're the last Saturday in March for the clocks going forward.

Google says we’re on March 25.

 

[JoesMum]

Google says we’re on March 25.

Same as us then It's probably an EU agreement

 

[Maro2Bear]

Pictures of the birds, I meant.

Let’s hope. Last year the chicks all fledged a few days early, right before a large thunderstorm. We were really concerned they would get soaking wet and not make it.... a few days later, we saw them out..and all good.

 

[Maro2Bear]

Russia is there (doh!) and Denmark. No Turkey though, so I guess we won’t be watching.

I have to recheck... Iceland! All the way!

 

[Kristoff]

I have to recheck... Iceland! All the way!

Why Iceland?
