Supposedly the Gwion (Taliesin) popthrough occurred about
27 minutes ago. Did you notice anything unusual?
For more details see the four components subpage
of my Salmon on the Thorns page.

Well, I had boiled eggs for breakfast, rather than Weetabix.

Does that count ?

Which Iceland would that be? Is there a shop off the East coast of
Greenland or Argentina?

AFAIK Iceland the country is on UTC and I don't think they bother with
summer/winter time.

Yes, of course. :-)

I haven't noticed much myself yet and I should be covered
by the Taliesin popthrough by descent (less strongly
than by belief) so maybe it didn't occur.

Not really, Muslims are allowed to follow Mecca time if the local sun
time isn't convenient, IIRC there's even special rules for Muslims in
space.

I know, being a space nerd.

I am reading a book at the mo' that has a really rather wonderful
photo of Jinnah: dressed in a snappy Western suit, cigarette
clamped in his teeth, cuddling up to his dogs. The only thing
missing is a "chota peg" of whiskey.
