Things you want to share with P&B

My phone clock and my wall clock are deliberately three minutes faster than my laptop clock, which is at the correct time as set by whoever comes up with this official time stuff.

My phone and wall clock were at 08:31 when I planned on leaving the house and my train is at 08:33 so I would have missed it by one minute as it takes six minutes to walk to the train station.

Left the house at 08:43 for the 08:48 train meaning I'll be a bit early. That's fine. Arrived at the platform and my phone said 08:48. Smashing. The clock at the train station said 08:45 so that's bang on. However, the wee electronic boards said 08:41. What? What time is it?!

My train was delayed and all that so I was early regardless. When it arrived at 08:55 the electronic board on my side said 08:55, my.phone said 08:58 but the electronic board for the other platform said 08:50.

Have I time travelled?

Sounds like a really shite episode of the Twilight Zone. Something about never having enough time. You'll probably need to learn a shitey lesson about personal growth to get out of it.

Unlikely, but you did waste a minute of mine.

And at your age there are precious few to waste.

Nonsense, I'm immorta

Good.

I just counted that I've been on 24 different flights in the past 12 months, tomorrow being 25.

Can't see any other explanation tbh

A think I love them

I think I'm getting ready to slip gracefully into middle age. I just spied a bird I didn't recognise in the garden, so took some pictures and have managed to deduce that it's a Greater Spotted Woodpecker.

And I've been genuinely excited by the whole thing.

Welcome to the club.

FYI It doesn't get better or go away!

Same here, its quite interesting, I've kept a tally of all the different species that have flown into my small garden (18 different kinds) best one was the sparrowhawk that flew onto the grass with its prey and then proceeded to rip it to shreds.

18!? That's mental. I think I have had 3. Seagulls, pigeons and crows. Infact 4, there is usually a couple of wee ones kicking about but i don't know what they are.

You've done well to spot them at this time of year before all the leaves come off the trees. Usually you get to hear them but not see them despite their colour scheme.

You know you are middle aged when you get excited at seeing house sparrows because you can still remember when they were common.

Was standing at my back door in Dumfries a few years ago. To the right was a fir tree which had a whole lot of sparrows in it. Further along the fence sat a sparrowhawk.

All of a sudden the sparrowhawk took off, flew about 100 yards over the neighbours garden, did a u turn and flew right past my face and smashed into this tree. Whole episode took a fraction of a second.

It was a real WTF moment.

Be warned children, wild things that hunt can move really really fast!

Birds of prey are superb. Loads of buzzards in the countryside outside Dundee and Carnoustie, they are big bassa's.

Had probably the worst interview in the history of interviews last week. Got a letter through the door today telling me they'd like to see me again. I am confused. I thought I did terrible. Not complaining though

It was getting in about the food I'd put out in the bird feeders out the back. The wee coal tits and robins that normally get in there were keeping well back
