Last third of March

It was mother's day yesterday and the equinox today. Mother's day is different every year because it is 4 Sundays after lent here in Britain. But the equinox is always on the 20th of march because the day and night are always equal that part of the year. The first sunday after the equinox, the clocks go forward. Every day from this day forward until the start of summer, the days will get longer and longer. 

If the equinox is on a Sunday and mother's day on the 20th then the clocks go forward during mother's day and they only get 23 hours. I do don't know how often that happens, I'm not rain man. It does happen sometimes though. They didn't think it through. They should make mother's day on Saturday. 

It is also the last third of the month. Tomorrow is the start of the third Alan-week. My own unique way of looking at the passing of time.
