The Clocks go back 🥴

[Socks' Mum]

Not all bad, we get to stay in bed until almost daylight That time is here again

Thanks for the reminder!

Indeed thank you for the reminder. I did check yesterday if it was this weekend but last year I forgot again the night before and didn’t realise till later in the afternoon.

 

[Maz]

I hate the clocks changing!

 

[Lovelyness]

I hate the clocks changing!

Yes, me too! It’ll be dark so early tomorrow!

 

[Socks' Mum]

Yes, we should have a bank holiday to adjust

 

[Maz]

I wish they would just stop doing it! I like the darker nights to come gradually and naturally. And likewise I like the lighter nights to come gradually and naturally. It messes up my body clock for a week or two!

 

[Socks' Mum]

Yes, we go to bed an hour late, wake up at the usual time and give ourselves jet lag, then we get up on Monday and drive to work

Yes, doesn't really make sense, does it

 

[Lovelyness]

I actually remembered to change ALL my clocks last night! Including the boiler, which is the one I usually forget, then wake up freezing lol

 

[Maz]

I never do them until the next day or it gets too confusing at bed time! So today I woke up an hour earlier than usual (except it was actually my usual time but the clock said an hour earlier) and everything except the kitchen and living room clocks had already changed over at 1am. So phones, computers, heating clock. Ie the gadgets we usually tell the time on. So there is just the car, and the two proper wall clocks to change - which nobody ever looks at anyway!

The kitchen clock is a pain to do! Someone has to stand on a chair, kneel on the kitchen table, get it down - it needs a clean usually. And then fiddle around for ages trying to hang it back on the nail and get it sitting straight Then a week later or so the battery might pack up and it has to be done all over again! Should change the battery at the same time each year but forgot.

 

[Socks' Mum]

These digital radio waves clocks are nice, but of course they need batteries too

 

[Maz]

Do they change the time automatically then?

 

[Lovelyness]

 

[Maz]

We did used to do that with the car clock - just leave it 6 months! It was very fiddly and almost painful to try and change pressing things on the old car. The current car it's all digital and we can't work it out so stepson does it in about 5 seconds! (The tech generation).

 

[Socks' Mum]

Do they change the time automatically then?

Yes, they are great. You can get them at Argos

 

[Socks' Mum]

I used to leave my Casio digital watch as is

 

[Maz]

I mean I'm ok with digital things but the one in the car is not intuititive in terms of multiple menus and sub menus! It's actually finding the clock setting that's the tricky bit.

 

[Lovelyness]

I’ve got a watch I wear for work which is really difficult to change, so after 6 months of telling the wrong time, it’s now right lol
