Good morning everyone.

Its a dry day and the sun is peeping out a bit and I can see a bit of blue sky.

Sue and I are escaping for lunch out and a moan and groan today. Its sad its come to this.

Enjoy your car Hazel 

Good morning everyone

Thanks Diane, I really love driving it, it reminds me of a classic mini the way it handles. Like a powerful little roller skate LOL

Well it's clearing up here weatherwise, been a damp drizzly night but the sun's trying hard to peep through the grey clouds and it's looking quite bright where it succeeds.

I'm back to the garage today to get some car mats, as there aren't any in the Growler. I have to take the mats back from the Cactus too, I'd taken them all out except the drivers side to clean and left them on the drive while i was taking stuff out the car and forgot to put them back in. Didn't realise til I got home and saw them, as the drivers mat is fixed to the floor so obs thought they were all back in it. What a dipstick! lol

They're no good for the Growler as they're way too big. 

I keep thinking about those twins. Although they're the same age one will always be a year older, how does that work? Confused.

Good Morning all. Feeling a lot better today.We sorted out my glass cupboard yesterday. I've got a box of unwanted glasses for a charity shop and a bag full in the wheelie bin, Looking at casseroles today. I've got two slow cookers and one electric pressure cooker so apart from a couple for serving from will get rid of most of them.  I'm in a ruthless mood nothing is safe at the moment. Have a good day all.

Muddles I am confused about the twins as well! their grandmother says her daughter and son in law are going to celebrate their birthdays on the 1st of January until they are old  enough to decide for themselves which I suppose while they are little is a good idea , the hospital said they had this happen on the millennium year which is even worse!!
Nice here  today but windy, the sea looks lovely  huge rollers and very sparkly , quite a few surfers are in the sea they look like seals from a distance.

I found this online about twins born either side of midnight in different years. It looks like it could cause a lot of problems.


Twins Born on Either Side of MidnightThe difference between today and tomorrow is literally a matter of seconds. Plenty of babies are delivered in the middle of the night. Babies that are born close to midnight may arrive on different days. For example, Twin A may be born at 11:59 pm on one day while Twin B doesn't make an appearance until 12:01 am, which would be the next day. This can create some interesting dilemmas.    For example, two British twins were born either side of midnight on August 31 and September 1. Unfortunately, September 1 is the cut-off date for starting school in their area, so only the first-born twin would turn 5 in time for the start of kindergarten. The father, a twin himself, said he would do everything possible to ensure they both were in the same grade at school. The difference in the month would also matter when they were due for immunizations, even though there were born only minutes apart. While common sense may rule, sometimes there are strict date cutoffs encoded in law that would require petitioning for an exception. Twins Born in Different Years, Decades, and MillenniaThere are cases of twins born in different years. In Texas, twins were born only one minute apart, but in different years, delivered by C-section as the last baby of 2013 and the first baby of 2014. A similar situation occurred as 2015 changed to 2016 in San Diego with fraternal twins. Twins can be born in different decades, as happened as 2009 changed to 2010 and a pair of Florida twins came into the world on each side of the dividing line.To top it all, there are twins born in different millennia. Twins were born in Massachusetts only eight minutes apart, but they were born in proximity to the turn of the millennium in 2000. One boy arrived on New Year's Eve, 1999, just a few minutes shy of midnight. And in the first few seconds of the year 2000, his twin brother took his first breath. In these cases, there can be ongoing implications for eligibility for programs and services as well as tax deductions. The parents would have to advocate for including both twins the year the first was eligible or delaying until both were eligible, if possible.
