Caught up with myself. Now I’ll just have to wrestle the phone out of my hand and drag myself to the work station... Not see you all later!
COLD DARK ROOM

- Start date
All our fault in Britain I think. It was to make best use of the daylight in the mornings for farmers I think. Needless to say that with most countries (and US States) being hundreds of miles long north to south some parts benefit more than others. It’s been a debate here for years about abandoning it, but Scotland and the north would prefer it fixed on winter hours while we down south prefer summer!
Everyone does pretty much. Only parts of the former British Empire drive on the left... Australia, New Zealand, Republic of Ireland, South Africa and a few smaller nations. Canada did, but switched to the right to make things more manageable with the USA.
There are a couple of Arabic countries that drive on the left too... I vaguely remember one attempt to switch had to be abandoned as the camels refused to walk on the other side of the road!
Good mornooning all. After a lovely day yesterday which gave us respite from the weekend’s gales we are now being blown about by the start of Storm Gareth. It wasn’t supposed to affect us until tomorrow, but it has definitely started.
I went to see my physiotherapist/osteopath yesterday. I wasn’t standing straight and my therapist said that all that coughing had left some muscles around my diaphragm very tight. My chest cavity feels double the size now
I am going back on Thursday as she says I needed to let what she did settle before having another go at it and, hopefully, getting back properly straight.
I have a coffee morning to attend shortly. School places have just been allocated by the County for the next academic year and my governor school holds a coffee morning to welcome new families to the school. I am not sure there’s any point brushing my hair

I had to check (because we used to have it too -- and weren't part of the British Empire). So, yes, the Brits are partially responsible, but so are the Germans and the late Austria-Hungary. https://lifehacker.com/the-real-history-of-daylight-saving-time-1823611526
LOL, then it will never be done.
Who are yoooo!!
Wifey looks like a tortoise, in fact very similar to Opo!! And did it work?
Saw what. I didn't!
Yip we drive on the left because nothing is right.
I’m prepping for a bit of an adventure, so you will hear less of me for a bit. Wrapping up the couple of wood projects (bowls, tool holder, candle sticks) today, soaking Sully, aquarium water changed out, some plant watering (including fig trees that are really budding out) and banana tree.
Spring is in the air. Birds singing, less active at the feeders, daffodils bursting to bloom, rose bushes with deep red new growth scratching to grow & bloom. Grass is greening. And, we could hear the Spring Peepers last night.

Yes, it normally gets down into the 30s and sometimes the 20s on winter nights, but this plant has been ok with that for many years.
well be sure to take lots of pictures. We love an adventure!
Whoops didn't think about that when I posted. Should have worded it better.
Lola likes room service too even though he's not out in the rain!
He's just a lazy Leopard.
It worked when Opo started moving . My wife was there to make sure I didn't knock him off.
Sounds like a holiday is on the cards?
Hope you have a good time and enjoy the break.
Yes storm Gareth has already made his presence felt here too, but the sun is out at the moment - the calm before he really hits us tomorrow I think.Good mornooning all.

Glad you are feeling better after your session and enjoy meeting the new parents, I hope it's a good turn out.
The way I understand it. The conestoga wagon was used by the pioneers for travel because it could hold up to 6 tons. It was operated by 2 men. One man controlled the horses and the other was in the rear on the left side controlled the brakes. So it was adapted being on the left when automobiles were designed. That's what I read on the internet. It most be true.Yip we drive on the left because nothing is right.
You're lucky he didn't pee on you!
