heres a quick oneLaughingLaughing

 

A man staggers into an emergency room with a concussion, multiple 
bruises, two black eyes and a five iron wrapped tightly around his 
throat. Naturally, the doctor asks him what happened. 

"Well, it was like this," said the man. "I was having a quiet round of golf with my wife, when at a difficult hole, we both sliced our balls into a pasture of cows. We went to look for them, and while I was rooting around, noticed one of the cows had something white at its rear end. I walked over and lifted up the tail, and sure enough, there was a golf ball with my wife's monogram on it-- stuck right in the middle of the cow's butt." 

"That's when I made my big mistake." 

"What did you do?" asks the doctor. 

"Well, I lifted the cow's tail again and yelled to my wife, "Hey, this 
looks like yours!" 

"I don't remember much after that!"

Looks like I lost Peggy and Cathy, but then, it is 10:20 PM in England and after midnight is S. Africa.  Night gals!

It's 3:20 PM here on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon and time for Denzil's walk.

The US switched to daylight savings time today.  When do they do that in Old Blighty?  And do they have daylight savings time in S. Africa, Cathy?

British Summer Time starts 28th March, Ruth, unlike Hawaii where DST never starts at all. Smile

It never starts in AZ either, Paul.  That's why you're 8 hours ahead of me in summer and 7 in winter.  We prefer to have our extra hour of daylight in the cool of the morning rather than in the evening, when it's still over 100°F in the summer months.

There is no daylight saving in SA unfortunately, we also get longer mornings, mid summer the sun is coming up about 4 a.m but goes down at the latest 7.30 p.m.  Winter it is much later in the morning and dark by about 5.30.  It seems such a waste of usable day time.

At the moment daylight starts here in lancashire, england at about 6am and sunsets about 6pm. At the end of this month we put the clocks 'forward' an hour, giving us an extra hour daylight in the evening. The daylight starts to extend untill about late june giving us daylight hours between 4am and 10.30/1100pm (16 hours) We get longer summer daylight hours than the south of england the furthur north you go.Smile
