TOH - The Other Half?

Definitely not Bartolo.  Operatic possibilities are limited.  Posa to my Carlos? Fafner to my Fasolt? Ping to my Pong? Guglielmo to my Ferrando would be totally inappropriate.  Giuseppe to my Marco?  Sergius to my Bacchus?  Belcore to my Nemorino seems wrong too.  And certainly not Vere to my Billy (or the other way round).

Now, I usually get this time thing wrong but surely, if we're putting our clocks forward, your cat will be waking you at 6 o'clock now instead if 5? Unless he puts his little furry bodyclock forward one hour too...

Quite right MJ  Smiley

Why did I let myself be talked into singing this morning?
Apart from Easter Sunday, I've been singing every Sunday for all of March - I'm supposed to be a deputy!
Nurg. Ironically I'm one of those people who has to have a certain amount of sleep before I can have coffee, otherwise I get stomach cramps and palpatations. I'll have to settle for tea. Mmmmmmm.

It is now (as I type this) 9.55, whatever time you may think it is. My watch is right, so are the clocks in my bedroom and sitting room. The central heating is wrong, as are the clocks on the cooker and microwave. I think I'll ignore the latter two. I never use the timers anyway.

What a nuisance it all is.

You're not kidding Mary!  I've just had to get the manuals out to change my cooker and microwave clocks because they're new and nothing at all like my old ones.  I've done the major ones - big chiming one in the hall and radio alarm clock (which was the only one I did before I went to sleep).  Thank heavens the video and computer do it automatically.  Now I've got a load of little decorative things to go round and alter - and mustn't forget the clock in the car either.

Flaming nuisance all of it.  As if we haven't all got better things to do.

For some reason my computer says it's 11.14. I'm sure it's always got it right before.

I forced myself to get up at my 'normal' time (i.e. an hour early) since I've got work to do today. Not so long ago, my body would have shrugged off the lost hour, but today I feel knackered! Just one measly hour! Is it cos I is getting old?  Angry

Would it really be such a bad idea to just put the clocks forward half an hour one spring, then LEAVE WELL ALONE?
