Trouble adjusting to clocks changing

It wouldn't be too bad if we could explain to our dogs that there's an extra hour in bed.

Until everything was automatic/computerised, I used to spend most of the “gained” hour, changing the clocks on the CH boiler, burglar alarm, clocks and watches, video player, radio alarm etc.
Exhausted by the time I got to bed!

Don't really notice once the clocks have been changed. Haven't got around to changing the clock on the oven yet so the kitchen is on a different time zone, which can be a bit confusing now and again. As we are both retired now it doesn't really make any difference to us.

Oh no, I was awake again at 5 am, an hour too early. That's two days running, hope it doesn't continue. I might as well do some work at home before I get ready to leave.

So it’s 10 to 6 -“ really” 10 to 7 in old money?
Decorator coming at 8 so do I snatch another hour or not? Blowing a hooley outside and Rosie has curled up beside me, ah well, 😴😴😴😴😴😴

The hooley and rain have stopped thank goodness - I have a routine blood test at 07.00!

My body clock is all over the place. I’m usually asleep by 9pm awake at 5am.last two nights I was still wide awake at 10.30pm took me ages to get off to sleep then wide awake at 4.30 ! Never been this bad before.

Rain lashing on the windows. Usually wake around five but of course it was four today. Long wait until DH wakes and a cup of tea. …..Ah well.

I hated that on nights we’d work the extra hour unpaid because it was assumed by the NHS that you’d work an hour less when they went forward.
It doesn’t really bother me now I’m retired and DDog doesn’t seem to have realised thank goodness!

Just remembering night duty at hospital on clock change nights. The pain of working an extra hour and then not getting paid for it. Managers always said that they expect I will work the shortened night when clocks go forward. It never happened ! Love being retired and just having extra hour in bed !

I’m all over the place when the clocks go back in autumn but fine when they go forward in the spring and we lose an hour. Doesn’t make sense. 🤔

My allotment group normally meets on a Tuesday but we decided yesterday would be better weather wise. I greeted the same man with a cheery ‘Good morning’ twice but thankfully a feeling of deja vu stopped me doing it for a third time! I’m now going to think it’s Wednesday all day today.

Peggy is no help at all as she overslept this morning so instead of waking me up an hour early she was still snuggled up when the wind and the rain roused me.

Hopefully I’ll have my wits about me tomorrow when it really will be Wednesday….I think.

I hate it. I get up when I wake, which is usually about 5am. After putting the clocks back, I and the animals want all our meals an hour early and want to go to bed far too early.
I believe the US has stopped the pointless stupidity of altering clocks to summer time and we should too.
