I was reading something weird about that. Arizona doesn't change its clocks but it contains a big portion of the Navajo Nation which does observe Daylight Saving Time. But this completely surrounds another reservation called the Hopi Nation which doesn't.

That doesn't sound at all confusing...all I know is that the alarm seemed to go off incredibly early this morning...

Sometimes our TV clock doesn't know about hour changes and that apparently can only be changed via a signal broadcast by someone so we just have to wait.

There are now 2 spaces in my PN box

We set the alarm ungodly early so we could catch the last episode of our fave series on TV. Was well worth it though.;)

DH turned the alarm off because he wanted me to have ten minutes extra asleep.

This is one of those weird couple things that I know he does because he lives me but I hate and he knows I dislike but feels I should like and cannot get past that. I usually wake up anyway, so when I don't I feel like the day has started with the world slightly off axis. ( we were both awake a lot in the night not for fun but with this silly cold).

OH on a work trip to Oz.

Plan A was for me to go with, but work restrictions mean he will have no free time and flies home this time next week.

So plan B is I stay home and get to play with his new car :evil grin:

I like lightweight classical music. One of my favourite pieces is Rachmaninov's Second Piano Concerto. Absolutely beautiful. And Aquarium by Saint-Saens from the Carnival of the Animals is stunning. That surely can't leave anyone cold.

I fail too to see how anyone can't love aquarium, though I think the donkey did not produce quite the same calming effect!

best wishes to your OH as well for his continued recovery.

I have access to a bath, they just feel quite extravagant water and time-wise! Also, I think you'll find all the best NP love mushrooms (or to be accurate, the majority have strong feelings one way or another)

Garlic mushrooms, I love. Since having a water meter fitted in April, I have become obsessive about water wastage:o, which makes a trip to even a Premier Inn a delight so I can wallow in some bubbles!

There is a program on radio 4 at the moment about china. Seemed to be mostly Chinese business people moaning about the Chinese yoof - can't get the staff; all fancy degrees and no interest in working hard. When that finished it was some Chinese students complaining there aren't any skilled jobs for graduates. Sounds a bit like Britain although no-one mentioned pay day lending or people spending money on iPhones instead of house deposits so it can't be exactly the same.

Give it time and it will be exactly the same!

Good luck with the house Nikkster.

Ok, I own up, I cannot stand Carnival of the Animals. Any of it. But I do think its fantastic as a educational piece.

I feel softer towards Peter and the wolf. I like it more musically and its again, super educationally. I just wouldn't sit and listen to it really!

I lived in the most expensive water area a few years back and I calculated the cost or receiving and removing 1 cubic metre of water as being about £3.

I think a normal bath's capacity's about 1/10th of that.

So a 30p treat's probably not unreasonable.

You'd have to check these figures for your own water company and your own bath..... but it's certainly not £2/bath.
