But Jackson said that he would always make sure that Mark had something to eat when he came home, and Mark could not complain especially knowing his cooking skills. Mark had told him that he did not have to worry about doing anything in the mornings since he knew how rushed sometimes it was for Jackson. One of the things that were routine was that Jackson made sure to leave food for Mark to heat up when he came back from work no matter how busy he was. However, they fell into this routine where both were fine with what was happening even if they did not spend much time together.

He learned how to cope without his husband at home. Mark understood why Jackson had to spend so much time at the restaurant and he was fine with it. He only came home to sleep and that was pretty much it. However, after taking over the restaurant, Jackson stopped spending most of his time at home. Before taking over the restaurant, Jackson would spend a lot of his time at home, making sure that everything was fine at home. Their dynamic around their home was one of the things that had a major change in their lives. Jackson had taken over his father’s restaurant about five years ago which cause many changes in both of their lives. It was always the same night or at least it has been for the last five years. This was Mark’s routine when he got home: go to the kitchen, heat the food, have dinner, take a shower, watch tv, and go to sleep all alone. He placed the counters on the counter so he could heat the food and have dinner alone, like every other night. Mark opened the fridge and found the container with the cold food that his husband had cooked for him before going to work in the morning. He was so hungry since he did not have much for lunch today.

In one email, a senior figure told a colleague: ‘My impression… is that officials’ advice is likely to be in favour of adopting British Summer Time all year.’īritish charity the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) says that one of the consequences of changing the clocks is that ‘more people are killed and injured on the road because of darker evenings in the autumn and winter than would be if we abolished the clock change and adopted British Summertime all year’. The first changes were due to take effect this month, but plans have now been stalled, as EU member states couldn’t agree on whether to remain in winter or summer time.ĭue to Brexit, the UK no longer needs to follow this agreement – although it has been speculated that Britain might stick permanently on summertime.Īccording to the Daily Mail, aides from the Department for Business contacted civil servants in Northern Ireland to discuss the UK’s response. Permanent winter countries would therefore move the clocks back an hour for the last time in October 2021, and those opting for permanent summer would move their clocks forward for the last time in March 2021.
