British Summertime begins
« on: March 24, 2012, 06:26:59 pm »
Remember and put your clocks forward 2 hours tonight, this year the government are experimenting with the time change, to have the same time scale for farmers as they had in the war years, yes yes I know we are not in the war years but we farmers need all the light we can get to enable us to get more work done before darkness falls (the government must think we are lazy ba....ds, and there not, they get loads of dosh for doing nowt). If this is a success then this will be the way forward for many years to come and when it's time for the clocks to get changed back, they only go back 1 hour.
Yes I am puzzled as to why they want me to loose 2 hours sleep, 1 hour is bad enough.

Hi David, do you believe everything the government says, they tell untruths and we are to believe them. They say they do this that and the other for us, huh I'm still waiting for them to do someting for me.

Whether it's one or two hours I don't know  :-\ (I'll go with what the telly says in the morning  :D) but I do know it's definately feeling more like spring  ;D
Daffodils flowering, birds building nests, saw my first lamb of the year today (down at Palacerigg  :thumbsup:) sun shining and able to go out without the big coat  ;)
Yup, summer is definately on the way  8) :thumbsup:

For the last week or so, my cat Tabitha has been howling outside our bedroom door at about 7.30 every morning. At least when she does it tomorrow, it will be 8.30, and not such a bad time to get up.
I know that 7.30 doesnt sound particularly early to most, but we watch UK tv which is an hour behind us over here in France, so we hardly ever go to bed before midnight. Then I always read for at least 30mins so by the time I close my little peepers, its very late!

I don't like the idea of having an hour's less sleep so my alarm will not be set.  The dogs will let me know when it's time to let them out. ::)
