It's That Time of Year! (Time to Change the Clocks!)

This weekend (early Halloween morn), it's time for the UK to 'fall back' an hour - the end of British Summer Time. 

Eh it's cold already so I think the summer ended long ago. 

However, it's that confusing week UK-to-US, because the US doesn't put their clocks back until next weekend, November 7.

So I make that one fewer hour's difference between us, for the next week (Oct 31-Nov 7), is that right? 

Thanks. I had been wondering about when that disruption was going to hit.

   I completely forgot!  Thank you for the reminder Mrs. R!!

Booooo Hisssss Booooo Hisssssss 

Booooo Hisssss Booooo Hisssssss 

You don't like an extra hour of sleep this weekend?! 

Nooo I dont want it to get darker even earlier ;-)

OOoh how random- I'm at this conference- I wonder how many of us will screw it up

Yay! Only 4 hours difference for a week!

I didn't even have to remember to do it - I just kept sleeping, lol!  Hubby was up first & went around the house, changing all the clocks before I got up.  Now to see if I'm getting sleepy this evening at 8-9 pm - lol!

I really wanted to take advantage of the extra hour (sleep-wise), but just couldn't due to being hot, having a headache and a tummy ache, and then becoming ravenously hungry.  So even though we went to bed at 2:30, I was up 5 hours later. 

Thank god for that extra hour of sleep!

  Dentist app on Wednesday--looking forward to it!

I'm dreading the dark at 5pm.      And even earlier as the year progresses.  Depression hits hard enough as it is; dark, cold & gloomy only makes it worse.  Maybe I should invest in one of those intense sunlamps, the kind that fights SAD.

Me too...I may ask for one for Xmas as this dark at 430 will do me in ;-/

You realise it'll be dark at 3:00 - 3:30 pm before it starts getting better again after 21 Dec... 

I keep saying year after year - I'm going to get a SAD light.  DH says if you can get out & walk while it's daylight, that's actually more effective, supposedly.  But if the weather is crap...  I'll see how I get on here in November.  The last couple of years were particularly hard because my mom was dying Nov/Dec 2008 & then died at Christmas.
