    Default The clocks go back tonight!

    Don't forget to put your clocks back tonight. I hate this time of year and the dark evenings. I don't see the need for it anymore. Interesting article explaining that this was imposed on us in 1916 but we kept it after getting independence. Now time to get rid of it!!

    Makes sense to do what everyone else is doing.

    Yeah all good with the phone changing as that does its own thing but the microwave and oven will continue in summer time.

    Awkward shits of yokes

    Same as Portugal and Spain, no real issues with different time zones there. People manage. I don't think I'd bother changing my watch going from Dundalk to Letterkenny or Hackbalkscross to Castleblaney for that matter! It's the dark evenings that seem to depress so many people. We could change things for a trial period at least and see how it works.

    Bloody hell Stephanie, how many properties do you have, you must be doing a fair trade has an escort
    I have too much wisdom to keep to myself,
    so I share my wisdom with everyone.
    Not my fault nobody listens to me.

    Is there a property for sale across from you by any chance Stephanie ?

    I'm the same as you though, never pull the curtains or blinds. I wake in the morning and guess what time it is by the daylight - No clock in my bedroom.

    Usually I'm very close with my guesses but the last week or 2 I've been way out.

    At least it will be brighter tomorrow morning !

    But I hate the dark evenings.
    Are we there yet ?
