The wonders of modern technology

Now we all know what a pain it is to change the clocks twice a year, well at work they’ve employed technology to overcome this problem, all new clocks are radio controlled.  So in theory you don’t need to (and can’t) change the time on them and you don’t need to climb desks to get them off the wall.  All is well with the world?

Well not quite, our clock spent half the day sitting on a chair facing out the window, until it picked up the signal to change time!  (No we didn’t climb the desks, we got a tall person to stretch)  Technology, what would we do without it.

nah Nah ne Nah Naaah

I got snow again this morning, just a little white covering, but enough to make you smile and feel like a kid again.

Do squirrels Hibernate?

I know random question, I know they stash food, but is that so they have food when they wake up, or so that they have food throughout the winter??  They only knowledge I have is from cartoons, which is both silly and conflicting – on one hand you have ice age where the squirrel is running around in freezing temperatures, indicating he’s not hibernating, and on the other you have over the hedge, where the squirrel hibernates with the others but then so does the tortoise. . .

Slow news day

You know it’s a slow news day when there’s a cute animal story, and so it is on the BBC, poor old Henry got stuck.  You know my life feels like it’s a slow news day at the moment, I mean I know I do stuff, and I’m busy, but it’s not like there’s anything special in there, it’s just all work, study, sleep and play.

Don’t get me wrong I’m enjoying myself; I’ve just not had any silly incidents recently to go on about, well unless you count my gran, who still only has her top set of teeth.  She won’t tell anyone where her spare set is in case they nick them!!

Anyway as in the true tradition of year end accountants, people are faffing about making more work for me, which I better go and do
