British Summer Time

Clocks go forward 1 hour at 2am on Sunday morning which is the beginning of British Summer Time

If only we could get some warm 'Summer' weather

'Lovely' (NOT) for those on boozy weekends away ...an hours less sleep...

(and those who want to see the start of F1...after said boozy night out)

Great if you are working nights though....

Time to go set the clocks for the morning, an hour's lost sleep...

I think the hour going back, whilst more disruptive to pets and feeding schedules, is preferable!

Time-warps and fall-backs...

Don't forget!

So did I @jonsie and was slightly bemused at the time on my recorder and my clock before I remembered.

Luckily I only have the front room clock and I've just managed to reach up and put it forward. I'm not altogether sure it's actually on the screw correctly so it may be on the floor when I get up. That's if I ever get to bed. ...

Fortunately it's only my alarm clock I have to worry about. Everything else, my telly, DVR, Blu Ray Player, my phone and tablet change automatically, thank God. And as you can see I've yet to go to bed.

So I waited to see the last group whilst in Yarmouth. Eyes drooping ( everyone, not just me lol) we decided to leave the venue about 12.30am. Came back to the caravan, went to bed with alarm set for 05.30am for F1.

Got up (it was really 04.30am)....

So I think you can safely say ...I watched the race in a bit of a daze....

I reset everything I need to before I go to bed. Alarm clocks, Oven clocks, Microwave clocks...in fact any clock that doesn't set itself gets done before I go up the wooden hill...

I totally forgot about the clocks going forward!! Thank goodness for the automatic time on my mobile or I would have been late for work this morning.

Before the time adjustment was automatic on mobiles I was always either one our late or one hour early for whatever I had to do the next morning.

You must have spent yesterday being far too busy @Marjo. If you watched anything on tv you would have wondered what happened to the schedule 😃😂

You really need to try going on a boozy weekend with friends ...then find you have lost an hour when you should be up and doing to repeat the same boozy activity the following day.. .

If you were playing on your phone or tablet did you not notice the time change? They would have changed automatically.
