END OF BST. (Clocks Back)

Cleoriff — Sat, 25 Oct 2025 09:31:10 GMT

Here we go again. Although officially the clocks go back at 2am Sunday 26th, most of us do this job before bed on Saturday 25th (Tonight)

Means an hour less in bed

The thieving so-and-sos are only giving us back the hour they stole from us on Mothers' Day last March. Without interest. Still, an extra hour in bed, I s'pose 😂😴

Gawd I hate this time of year

Was a time I used to spend 3 months in Thailand before a permanent move there

Oh happy days!

Now the dreaded Halloween followed by Bonfire night!

Samhain, meaning Summer's End.

Time of the Winter Queen and start of the ancient New Year.

Well at least I got my bread mixed early, and the washing machine on before the alarm

Yeah, another side-effect of the whole clocks back hoohah - getting up and about earlier than normal for a few weeks. And feeling like it's time for bed at 21:30... gnnnnhh!

I stayed up till 3am so my body clock would adjust

My carers don't come in until 10.30am and lying in bed an extra hour waiting for them would be painful

I set the bedside clock time correctly. Annoyingly I didn't change the alarm. Luckily I woke up early and with a bit of a dash, I made it downstairs in time for my online shopping delivery. 🙄

Love that we get a extra hour in bed yawn but dark nights and at half past five when I finish work will be dark as anything
