British Summer/Cat Time
Our cats, Miss D and Slayer, haven't got used
to the hour change yet. (I nearly typed the
word got as gotten - I've been watching too
much American TV, but I digress.)
At bedtime, our cats usually escort us
upstairs to our bedrooms... Slayer is very
good as a time-keeper and at rounding us up.
She miaows rather plaintively whenever Mrs C
and I give each other a lengthy hug and a kiss
goodnight.
Anyway, the funny thing is that for the last
two evenings they have both disappeared.
Perhaps they are making the most of the milder
Spring weather, and have gone off to see their
mates?

Its odd this hour change thing, all the winter I have been on BST and am sick of waking at 4.30am now all of a sudden I am back to normal and wake up at 5.30am. just in time to get to work at 7.00.
Didn't they change it during the war so the farmers had more time in the fields and Scottish school kids did'nt have to go to school in the dark.
After all we would still have the same amount of daylight and we would stay on a par with Europe for doing business.
Yes, Steve, I think the time change was mainly to help the farmers in the winter-time. All the schoolkids come home in the dark in the winters, as you know.
The odd thing is that the hour change happens at the same time in Europe, so we're keeping in step with les autres.... perhaps that is now the main reason - to help British business.
Dont know if you guys have the Bicardi Breezer advert there. Its about a cat that goes out partying all night drinking, dancing etc. Then the following morning when he enters the house his owner asked. So you were out catching mouse all night. Maybe that is what they are doing.
Whatalotoffun - I recall seeing that advert a year or so ago, shown at the cinema before the main film. Very good.
We do see the occasional dead mouse (or the remains of a mouse), when we get up in the mornings.
