Dateline Monday 27th March 2023

Happy Monday morning, I hope you are well and that you had a great weekend.

I also hope you put your clocks forward one hour, Daylight Savings began on Sunday morning at 1AM 😊😊 although to be honest our phones and smart watches do that automatically I guess electric car clocks also go forward and back automatically soon the announcement will be a thing of the past unless you live in Buckingham Palace where it takes a Royal Slave several days to put all the ancient tick tock (the correct use of both words not a web site )wind up clockwork clocks on the right time.

What is the weather doing? Last week the weather got cold again, then it warmed up then it got cold, we had hail storms all day on Thursday and some on Friday. Rained all blooming morning on Sunday. It will be cold today then by Thursday it will be warm yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

If you are observing Ramadan, I hope that is going well for you and if you have given something up for Lent, I hope that is also going well.

Prague

Daniel and the team at ITC DMC Prague have told us that one of Prague’s Art Deco landmarks is reborn as the Almanac X Prague, a 204-room hotel steps away from the city’s UNESCO-listed Old Town and the historic Wenceslas Square. It has been a 14-month, €20 million refurbishment, drawing on the building’s 1930s-era glamour and local art and craftsmanship for a modern, colourful tribute to Czech design. The hotel has an Art Deco-inspired cocktail bar, a specialty coffee shop and restaurant.
