Don't forget to put back your clocks tonight!

Gosh! Thank you for mentioning this Elle, otherwise I would not have even known it was time to change the clocks! Though my computer and the wall clock automatically change over night.

So, we get to sleep one hour longer don't we?

Yes, that's right, Pigale
We gain an hour.
My computer, the Freeview box and the central heating timer all change themselves automatically. I have only to alter the clocks and the timer on the microwave.
Enjoy your extra hour's sleep!

You too!!!

Good morning, Elle,
I put some clocks and timers back last night.
Just have one (that I can think of) to do.

No plans today!

Hi, Rusty!
I am ashamed to say that no, I have never been to the British Library!
