Clocks go back tonight!
No idea how this affects other counties, but in the UK at 1am Sunday morning the clocks will go back one hour, going from British Summer Time to Greenwich Mean Time. Basically, it means mornings will be lighter, but it'll get dark earlier.
A commonly held opinion is that it also gives us an extra hour in bed on the Sunday. This would be true, except for the fact that my three-year-old son is going to get up at his usual time, like it or not.
So I've tried to mitigate this.
Today he's been out this morning, been to the park this afternoon, had no afternoon nap, and I've kept him up until half 8 (his usual bedtime is half 7) in the hope that tomorrow morning he isn't going to awaken sometime around 5am expecting to get up.
We'll see tomorrow what happens.
In other news, A Girl Named Michael (a blog by a girl named Michael - when I first attempted to type her blogs name I misspelled it, coming up with "A Gril Named Michael" which I assume would be a blog about a rappers mouth furniture that for some inconceivable reason they decided to name after an Archangel) asked me to answer three questions. I'm little worried how random my answers were compared to other people. Check the questions and answers out at http://agirlnamedmichael-mj.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/3-very-random-questions.html

New Guest Post - how I met my partner
I have a guest blog up on the interwebs!
A Girl Named Michael, a blog by a girl... named... Michael... has, in her own words, "stalked" me and challenged me to write how I met my partner. As a result, she's very kindly let me share on her blog the story of how my partner and I met. Do go check it out!!
I've just got home from Leeds, I've been at a Green Vision event where I did a Pecha Kucha presentation on Sustainability in Framework Agreements - you have 20 slides on a topic, and each slide automatically advances after 20 seconds so you only have a limited time to give your talk! It was a bit of a challenge but a great opportunity to try something a little different - thanks to the CKE for letting me talk!
We also held our first AGM for the G4C Yorkshire & Humber Committee. G4C (Generation For Change) is a construction best practice initiative for those new to the construction industry. I've been the G4C Co-ordinator in the region since 2010, and it was with some sadness that I've stepped down as Co-ordinator, but I think it's the time for someone new to take up the position - at least the grey in my beard suggests that anyway. Best wishes to the new Co-ordinator (Caroline from George Hurst & Sons) and I hope to be able to add value to the initiative as a committee member for the year ahead.
On the way home I realised that I hate it when my CD player in my car skips a bit, because instead of the song playing I can hear myself singing instead. And I really do not sound anywhere as much like Avril Lavigne as I imagine.
In other news, my son continues to get even better at IT. I left my tablet with YouTube open yesterday morning, he grabs it and starts watching a Spanish Minecraft video. I've been out-geeked.
