Clocks

[John Bull]

Remember, clocks go forward one hour at 2am on sunday.

So we get an hour's less rain

This applies not only to the UK, but also across everywhere in the EU and EEA that does daylight saving time.

 

It's also (international) schedule change weekend for airlines, as we move from the northern winter 2023/24 scheduling season to northern summer 2024.

We already changed to Daylight Saving Time two weeks ago.

If you are missing the rain, campaign for the re-introduction of the Julian calendar and you can have another 13 days!!😁⛈️

Right that is what we had to do on our river cruise in the Netherlands and Belgium. It surprised us as here in the US, we had long since done our spring forward.

 

(Just getting to this thread and did not notice the date posted at first, and was about to write it was 2 weeks earlier where we were in the EU.) 🤦‍♂️

Not very often, I have brown “grass”, what’s left after the lawn grub attack and my garden is looking very poor.

Or as the guide said in Hawaii, heavenly blessings.

You can't kid me, Bruce (Sheila?) 😃

 

It's the stuff that marooned us for three days in Townsville, Queensland a few years ago. 

Well, that and the crocodiles in the streets. 😮

Oops shouldn’t have spoken/written so soon.  It has been raining steadily for the last 24 hours and still going.  Grass is looking a little greener already. Lol
