Don't forget folks, the clocks go forward by one hour at 2.00am tomorrow morning, which means you'll get one hour LESS rain.

Also, don't forget that today is the last day you can buy stamps before the swingeing price increase.

Just filled my boots with sufficient to last for a year or two.

Thanks, I'll nip out and buy one later, for next time I need to post a letter.

Trying to time align three ovens again. If I didnt have CDO Id just accept them being a few seconds out or even an hour and a few seconds out. Modern day issues

At least a 2 decades ago when, following a power cut, I faced the blinking twelve problem it occurred to me I didn't need the oven to tell me the time. My cooker, induction hob and microwave if not in use are off at the wall. I don't use the timer functions to cook.

Many many years ago father and mother in law got a new cooker, with timer. They set the timer turn turn the oven on at just the right time so their Sunday lunch would be cooked when they got back from a long morning walk in the countryside.

On leaving the house, F-i-L absentmindedly went though his normal house-leaving routine including turning the cooker off at the wall....

I remember those pre-digital oven timers. The family had one back in the 1970s. I don't think we ever used it (except as an exercise in "we can"), but we knew someone who did.

In 2005 when I moved from a furnished to an unfurnished flat, I found something very similar in a secondhand shop, and snapped it up. Enjoyed it, though the fan oven had become noisy in its old age.
