Post: dated 28th March 
Post: dated 29th March
Heading: April, 2008 
Post: dated 1st April 
Post: dated 4th April
etc…
Add a date header like this: 
 <?php intermittent_date( 'F Y', '<h3 class="date-header">', '</h3>' ); ?>
To produce something like this:
Heading: 25th March, 2008 
Post: dated 08:00 on 25th March 
Post: dated 11:37 on 25th March 
Post: dated 15:33 on 25th March

It’s up to you to style it with CSS then (although your theme may handle this for you).
