Hourglass

Warbled the excellent Squeeze in 1987 as they ran up the charts, took it to the bridge, threw it overboard, see if it can swim, back up to the shore…

Which does seem an odd way to treat a piece of precise horological equipment.

Their hourglass may indeed have ran out of sand, but here in the more southerly hemisphere, the opposite has happened, we have gained sand. Minutes, in fact, a whole 60 of them.

Yes the bi-annual daylight savings ruse is upon us once more, as hard working multi millionaire farmers are awarded with convenient sunlight at inconvenient (for the rest of us) hours.

Which means time critical goings on and happenings, need to be adjusted, or better still transitioned into the earlier daytime. Important occurrences such as feeding the cat in the morning, manipulating the few physical clocks left in the world and the taking of time sensitive drugs…

Which can all get a bit confusing when iPhone calendar alerts go off at the wrong hour, reminding one instead to give the dog his tablets, instead of yours.


Woof. A bit of a squeeze in here...
