Quote from: Scrumpy on March 29, 2026, 10:16:16 AMI am an hour behind.. I woke up later... It takes my body clock a few days to get settled..
 I'm sure it didn't affect me when I was doing the rounds and getting in later...
It seems to be as I have gotten older..

Were you a milkman in an earlier life Scrumpy ?   :grin:  :grin:

Quote from: ansu on March 29, 2026, 11:53:24 AMMy mother always complained that she hadn't spoken to anyone for a day or more - now I am in the same situation. What helps me is to go into my garden - there's always something to do and time flies. When you get old friends die and although our town offers a lot of activities for seniors it's difficult to find new friends.

I've always been happier outside too, Ansu,  but it has hardly been the weather for it for a good few months,  has it.   
With with it being winter,  and my Arthritis getting worse,  there hasn't been a lot of joy outside since last summer.

I do love growing things, and do a lot of cuttings and seed sowing,   but  that has been out of season for a while  too.
I am so glad I have my dogs for company though.

In our region the Green Party had the "say" for 16 years and at the election some weeks ago they won again - but very tight. As far as I can judge they did a good job in the past. Times are very difficult lately, above all in our region with all those automobile manufacturers - Mercedes and Porsche - and sub-suppliers like Bosch and Mahle. And the wars in the Ukrainia and Iran are not beneficial.

I always have problems when the clock changes - on the other side I enjoy it when it stays light longer as I am no early bird.

Trainers mostly but sandals if it's really warm. Riding Boots when off with the Clydes, and I always wore hiking boots when I was away with Dageus.

It doesn't really bother me. I'd prefer we didn't have to change them though, it such a pain with the cooker and the car.  :busted:
