Yes its such a great feeling.

Tomorrow when I wake and get out of bed I must stop myself from punching the air with glee, as I am suffering from Rotator Cuff Disorder and have two torn tendons!  :'(

6 seconds more daylight in York tomorrow, brilliant, been looking forward to this day for ages. How should I spend my extra daylit time: wash the car? Longer bike ride? Cut the grass? Sit in the garden?

You're lucky, only three seconds in Los Angeles. I'm planning to down a shot of tequila with the extra time, I think I should be able to manage that.  :beers:

Summer solstice here. With our current fire situation, bring on the winter one!
