Timey-wimey

 The clocks go forward tonight. Neither Ailz nor I has found or heard a reminder that this is happening so I sought confirmation from the Met Office and, sure enough, on their website,  two o'clock on Sunday comes straight after midnight. How strange it is, when you consider it, that we can just cancel an hour like that. There will be weather at 12 and weather at 2 but no weather at 1 because 1 o'clock on the 30th of March 2025 just doesn't exist.

I don’t know why so difficult to cancel it?

Neither do I. The rationale that used to be trotted out is that it benefits schoolchildren in the north of Scotland....

Poor children from Scotland, because no one asked them…
