Admittedly I usually leave the hotel at about 7am on the days when I'm away but that's still too early.

My body is happiest if that's generally the same time of day. This necessitates occasionally adjusting the clocks. >Plus this time of year makes me bloody >miserable. <gloom> We're looking forward to skiing. -- Colin Irvine ZZR1400 BOF#33 BONY#34 COFF#06 BHaLC#5 http://www.colinandpat.co.uk

The next day, after the clocks change, it will be at 6:42. It won't slip back to 7:40 until 28th November. -- Champ ZX10R (road), ZX10R (race; breaking), GPz750 turbo (classic) Hayabusa (touring) To email me, neal at my domain should work. |
