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
COLD DARK ROOM
- Thread starter Tidgy's Dad
- Start date
You've got quite a wait, as I'm in the U.S. and have to mail the packages overseas.
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

Awe, thanks so much for sharing. Your hearts must be truly broken. I guess in some small way, Joe is still making folks laugh because my visions of him and the wheelie bin and lawn mower, precious. Imagine compacting all that attitude (uh, 'bravery') into 7 pounds LOL. Awe, he must have been such a pleasure. What joy he's brought to your lives and your friends here. I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm glad to start my day now, with my coffee and Joe's memory, no matter how sad. Hugs. Thank you again.

Poor armadillo, I'm a big girl you know !! Do they squeak when flattened ? Is your pirate's name Peg ? Or Lefty ? Woody ? Not Speedy, tho, I'm sure. I'd be green with envy if a Leprechaun brought me a grasshopper with solid gold, crushed ice, liquid removed, please. And wouldn't that make me just a bit richer then ? I'm feeling better already. Do penguins still look drunk when they waddle if you're on a ship and the waters are wavy as you pass by ? Hmmm. Hello, Silly, Willy and the missing one. What's his name ? Oh, right, Nil-ly. Coffe and tea, ok with me. I've never seen a mustache of cheese, but plenty of cheesy mustaches. Wink. Hedgehogs are spiky guinea-pigs to me. Can never tell the difference. If your jellyfish lamp fails, I know a Kellyfish equally full of light !! Corners are simple creases that hurt when you hit them while walking in the dark but they also help you go in another direction, which in the dark is helpful, unless you like being in the corner, in the dark. You can stay there, ok, but carry this Kellyfish light, I promise you'll now love being in the corner !! Wool Spiders, I fear not !! Perhaps I'm itching to meet Her ? Have I been cautious enough ? I hate being censored. Hey Woody, where's my drink ?!?!Hi kellygirl64 and Dipa!
Welcome to the Cold Dark Room!
Pull up an armadillo to sit on. The One-Legged Pirate or the Leprechaun, his Substitute, should bring you a beverage of your choice (though they haven't been very reliable in the past few days). (They might be a touch busy opening a bar, The Drunken Penguin, inspired by one of our resident penguins, Silly or Willy.) We usually have lots of tea and coffee and someone might still have a stash of cheese. Do watch out for the hedgehogs. You can use the jellyfish to light your way. There are more corners in the CDR than we know, and there's a rumour that the Wool Spider might actually exist. Exercise caution, and enjoy your stay.
Looks like you're going to fit right in with this group of nut jobs, Kelly.

Stares are in corner 6. If you go take plenty of lights maybe a jellyfish or two. The also like a maze down there so I recomend marking your trail. I got lost when I went and ended back up here with a new pair of wool underwear I did not have on before. [emoji33]
Yep, the talk in the CDR can get cheesy sometimes.
Has spring arrived for you yet, Kathy?
We never had winter! Only rained a few times! We will have rain the rest of the week though. Not sure how much.
I hope it pours!! I planted a bunch of tortoise seeds!!
What does daylight savings actually do?
Aaaaaahhhhhh.
Oh dear you sound like you have your work cut out for you. I don't envy you at all.Good afternoon all. I had governor duties this morning - pupil discipline panels * sigh *

Yvonne!. Do I need to remind you that you are part of this group of nut jobs [emoji849] That makes you one tooLooks like you're going to fit right in with this group of nut jobs, Kelly.
Welcome to the madness Kelly!
You got it in one. Welcome to the CDR. I think Yvonne is correct you are totally going to fit in.
At the moment. I think they're a bit like the Hogwarts stairs, you can't actually guarantee where they'll be.
Lol. There is a darker one.[emoji33] [emoji33] [emoji33]
What did you do with them?
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)
