START OF BST (CLOCKS FORWARD)

Cleoriff — Sat, 29 Mar 2025 08:31:06 GMT

2am tomorrow marks the start of British Summer Time.

So the clocks go forward and we all lose an hours sleep. 😂

The nights are lighter though, so that's a bonus.

And who loses out the most?

Well, it's Mothering Sunday, or Mother's Day, on Sunday... 🤐

When you have 2 cats tapping your head @pgn, it makes no difference whether it's the start of summer or Mothers day, you WILL get up to feed them regardless 😂

The problem is with the lighter nights that you get neighbours having barbecues and parties late at night and making noise ; that is not an issue in the middle of Winter.

Lighter nights, bah humbug 😁

What's the difference between a hippo and a Zippo?

A hippo is a very heavy semi-aquatic creature, a Zippo's a little lighter.

My delivery time was 7.30 - 8.30am @pgn and he arrived at 7.12am....so I think the driver forgot HIS alarm clock 😂

I did say 'You are a bit early this morning'? He said 'Yes, but I knew you'd be up' 😂

At least computers, watches and 'phones tend to update themselves. 👍

We never use the clock on our main oven, therefore it's the most difficult to change!
