Morning all.
Grey but warm start to the day. After the very hard frost yesterday, the low last night was 9 ºC. Due to be back to frosts for the next few nights.
Off out again for lunch today. My favourite place. Nice everything and no scratchy bowls. There's a fashion in fancy restaurants here for different styles of crockery for every course. My pudding at lunch yesterday was pineapple tartare (diced pineapple) with coconut ice cream. It came in a bowl with a pitted glaze. Half my pudding (a tiny portion to start with) ended up in the pits and it was impossible to extract it without making a horrible noise with my spoon. Ghastly for washing up too. Anyway, I won't be going there again out of choice. Trouble is, M likes to go there when he wants to impress a guest. I think I'll pass next time.
Right, that's that rant over. And on with the day. In the time it's taken me to write that, the rain has started. And the temperature has dropped quite considerably. Time for the range to get lit, I reckon.
Have a great day, everyone.

Morning
I'm sharing your weather Flo, its not nice at all out there but then I've only been as far at the gate and GH in my PJ's.
That's interesting about daylight saving MH, and the amount of countries that have opted out.
Both Robins are popping in and out carrying food

Morning all.
As the clocks go forward on saturday night, I've been looking to see which countries still use daylight saving. It's fascinating. There used to be 140+ countries using it, but now there are only about 70, with 49 of those being in Europe. In the US, Arizona and Hawaii don't bother, likewise in Canada the Yukon, Nunavut and Saskatchewan and some odd bits of Quebec and Ontario don't change. Only Chile and Paraguay do it in S. America, and only the south-east of Australia change clocks. Egypt changes, but the rest of Africa and all of Asia doesn't.
The EU want to stop doing it, but of course need a proper detailed assessment of the impact, which knowing committees in general, will probably take another ten years, then a few more in deciding how to implement any decision they make.
