The clocks went back!
It’s a very strange day. The sun is shining and the sky is a beautiful blue, but the time seems to be passing so slowly. I suppose it’s because my watch tells me one thing but my body clock tells me something different.
I know that in a couple of hours the sun will set. We shall draw the curtains when it’s completely dark and wake tomorrow to a lighter morning. The light mornings don’t continue for long and by the shortest day in December there will be more dark than daylight.
Right now I wake up to darkness at 6:30 AM , but We have daylight savings time next week and will change our clocks and I will be be waking up to light at 6:30 AM... It was also start to get dark earlier. Boo hoo..
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful clock.
ReplyDeleteI love that clock. I'm not happy about daylight savings, but the birds still wake up at the same time they always do, so the clock says 6.30am but the birds tell me it's really 5.30am because that's their usual wake up morning chorus.
ReplyDeleteIn hot, sunny climates, the light mornings probably last much longer than, say, in the UK :)
ReplyDeleteSomehow, I hadn't realized until today that the UK did this. Ours go back next weekend.
ReplyDeleteHello from northern Canada...with the darkest of winters (but still worth it.)
ReplyDeleteI hope you spent your extra hour productively.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad Hawaii does not have to set their clocks forward or backward every fall and spring like we had to do in Illinois. Unfortunately, my daughter lives in Illinois so we have to remember the time change when we make any calls. We did get a call recently at 5:00 in the morning from someone who forgot.
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love it when the clocks change ... huh...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful clock ... at least we only have one time change ... I enjoyed my extra hour - cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteMy body is all over the place after a week in Spain, where they were an hour infront of us, coming home and a few days later our clocks change, we are living by our clock, but I'm tired all the time.
ReplyDeleteWe will do our time change the first Sunday in November. They decided quite a few years ago on this so that the children could trick or treat in daylight. What a shame we have to be so cautious anymore.
ReplyDeleteDamn that bloody William Willet! He has got a lot to answer for!
