START OF BST- CLOCKS FORWARD.

Cleoriff — Sat, 25 Mar 2023 08:54:39 GMT

Tomorrow at 1am sees the start of British Summer Time. This means we have to put our clocks FORWARD an hour. An hour less in bed! 😂

Lighter nights ...thankfully.

Best of luck remembering. 😊

For once, the annual Move The Clocks Forward Day is not the same day as Mother's Day this year (that was last weekend!).

I still fail to see what sliding the clock on the mantelpiece forwards away from the wall to the edge of the mantelpiece does for the world anyway, especially as the clock gets pushed back against the wall again in October... 🤔

Thanks for the reminder @Cleoriff

Love @pgn sliding clock forward on mantlepiece. If it falls off, got a good excuse for being late to work 😂

Oh, and as an addendum, why at 2am?

That's Avebury. Then sub contractors often end up digging in the wrong place🤣

A deep thought.

A clock measures nothing but itself

Time is a drug. Too much of it kills you.

Love the last line of that quote 😂

Indeed and what a day to wake up to! Dark and chucking it down with rain.

So true @Enlli. When I worked nights, I only ever copped for the October (Clocks back) nonsense. That shift was a killer. 13hrs of nursing very sick patients!🙄

Could've been worse - all lined up for a 12:15 Sunday carvery lunch, to find it was 13:15 and your table reservation had lapsed, @gmarkj 😖
