Clocks go back an hour tonight. ⏰

I find I spend today ‘converting’ the time forward in my head! Anyone else. I looked at the clock on the wall in our bedroom for example, saying 8am and immediately thought “it’s 9am”.

Yes Crosstitchfan I knew it was the wee small hours of the morning that the hour goes back. It’s just that I imagine most folk do it before they go to bed.

Mt basic Doro phone (not a smartphone) didn’t update in the night. That confused me momentarily!

I only have one clock that has to be changed and that’s in the kitchen… Everything else is done it automatically.

Brilliant pic, RosieandherMaw!🤣

Oven and microwave are switched off at the mains if not in use, so just my Winnie the Pooh clock in the kitchen to change. My wristwatch I’ve just done, I’ll do my car later, all tech does itself, marvellous.

I detest this twice yearly clock change. Not the actual changing of the clocks by me (only four I need to do by hand these days), but my body clock.
Seems I am part of a huge majority of people across Europe who feel like this - research in Uk and many other European countries seem to show more than eighty percent would like it stopped.
Totally outdated idea and totally unnecessary - research also shows an increase in road accidents during this first week after the change.

I was as ever, confused by the change, had to repeat to myself ‘fall back’ as I found my various clocks as confused as I am. I never bother with the microwave or oven clocks, The electric ones like my iPad, phone and car magically fix themselves. The worst of it though is heading for dark by 4 pm

Good to know that I'm not the only one with a basic Doro 'phone FGT .

GMT all year round would suit me.
3 manual clocks in the house here.
DH doesn't bother with the car clock.
I need to twist the sundial though!

Don't forget the oven and microwave!! 😀

Just done our ovens & Kent clocks, rest are radio controlled.

It doesn’t help when I have a touch of brain fog atm due to strong pain relief meds I looked at my watch which I changed this morning, it was 8.50, a few minutes later I looked at the clock on the kitchen wall and it was 9.55! Completely out of sync today losing track of time. 🤪

Cooker, microwave, kitchen clock and car yet to be changed. I can change the one high on the kitchen wall with a broom handle, the others……eventually.

Most of our clocks change automatically just the cooker clocks, kitchen clock and a few others to manually do. Actually I’m just realising we have clocks in every room!! I never wear a watch though anymore. My car clock is always a faff I can never remember how to do it!!

Mine too, GrannyIvy, but at least it shows the right time for half the year! 😂

All my clocks done either by me or automatically. I can now remember how to do the cooker without getting out the book and my car will change on its own after I’ve driven a few miles.

I leave the outside clock on BST for obvious reasons reasons.

Goodness, I am a grumpy cow! My responses lately have been snippy on occasion and this isn’t like me! I blame the medication I am on - as it can’t possibly be my fault!🤣
I will also make sure I proof-read more often.
This is the second time I have apologised for my responses and I really must take more care.
Apologies (again) to anyone I might have offended 🫶

Kindred spirits Smileless!
I’m not a Luddite. I’ve banked on line for over 20 years etc just that a phone is all I need when I’m out? I use my iPad (like now) when I’m home.

Himself has an up to date Apple phone. He has a “wallet” set up with debit cards etc. and a Ryanair app with (when) boarding passes are needed. It’s just me. I must be used to staff in another life.

Aw that’s ice of you to spot your grumpiness CSF without it being pointed out to you by anyone. A nice change. I did kinda think ‘wow’ but thought best not to respond - and here you are, self regulating and sweet natured once more! ✔️

I like that Maw I’ve just shared it with my sister!

From our verandah - the town clock across the way is set at the right time (one face anyway). That pleases my inner Virgo tendencies.

I’m very grateful that dh does all ours. If our ancient top oven hadn’t recently died, I might have put a rice pudding in for him, but I’m going to need the big oven hot for a roast.

"Perfectionist" - that figures!

I’m feeling a bit of an idiot now, as I spent half an hour this morning trying to figure out whether my flight home from holiday was going to land at an earlier time than it said on the travel info after the four hour flight because of the UK clocks going back, although it didn’t say so on the ticket. Who knew that the clocks went back in Greece too last night, as I eventually clicked, so the info was right. Oh dear.

Well, I wouldn't have known either!

Now, just remembered, must check the time difference with Australia!
