Mumbo-Jumbo

I never knew that it was more than 10 hours ahead in Australia.

first day of any month with an R in it
mcem; Never heard of "white rabbit" at all before starting this thread, but I do recall something about not eating pork(?) in months without an R. The summer ones!
Obviously in pre-freezer days, Shows I'm well past a "certain age"

The nearest we ever came to this was Mum saying 'rabbits, rabbits, rabbits' on the first day of any month with an R in it.
Never heard of the 'pinch, punch' part!

+11 hours?
Jalima; Sorry; I've only just spotted this!
Yes +11 When I said "soon" I was jumping the gun a bit. In fact more than a bit, 3 months more like.
We spring forward 1 hour in Spring and you fall back 1 hour in the Fall, (or Autumn some say!) as you would know. Corny? Yes! My apologies.
OoRoo

+11 hours?

Is that cheating Rufus?

No way Jalima! Thanks to global time zones I've got a 9hour head start, soon to be + 11 hour, so whilst I've got it I'll flaunt it.
Hope everybody's day is turning out as they wished. and Good Health.

I've been doing that since I was a child - and DH too, apparently.

He usually gets in first.

I had never heard this pinch punch white rabbit stuff until a couple of years ago (from a gransnetter on Twitter as it happens). It's weird.

It makes it hard to have a meaningful chat on the phone, doesn't it.
They're either rushing off to school/work or getting DGC off to bed.

I get so confused with all the time zones - it's still July 31st here but that must mean it's actually 3.45 am 1st Aug with my son so too early to say anything to them. It will still be too early to say it to my counterparts in the US when I go to bed - the mind boggles

Is that cheating Rufus?

Ok, fair do's, you got there first
White rabbits

Same thoughts here gillybob at the beginning of the year I had 7DGCs and 1GGD now I have 8DGCS and 2GGC and there is 5 mths to go yet,I hope no one is keeping any secrets from me.

Bloomin’ 1st August ? How did that happen?

Where I live (Oxfordshire) it will not be 1st August for another 7 hours and 43 minutes.

White rabbit white rabbit white rabbit to you Rufus same sent to my son and family 'down under'

Rufus In our family it is always a race to see who can be the first to
Pinch punch the first
of the month
Think 4am!!
Sadly now it usually by text unless my DGSs are here, then they think its great fun to catch grandma.

So pinch punch first of the month to you Rufus
And may it be a happy one.
