Yes, tomorrow evening we can have dinner with the sun still shining.

As my old mum used to say, every cloud has a silver lining.  :)

Most of our clocks, of which we seem to have many, sort themselves out automatically. However, the ones that don't I put on an hour before our evening meal yesterday, just in case I forgot before going to bed.

It's Easter Sunday, LA. Happened in my car too - clearly a day for miracles.  ;)

Thanks for that, I didn't know about it or had forgotten, same for husband.  Put my watch forward before going to bed and was very happy to get up at 10.30, after being awake for a couple of hours in middle of night (not unusual for me).  I came downstairs to my husband sitting in his dressing gown thinking it was 9.30am.  Not to worry - if we hadn't realised before our TV watching would have been somewhat put out!

Hey! You stole an hour off the clock in my car.

That is the only possible explanation for why it has suddenly gone an hour slow.

Yes, I'm one that likes the lighter evenings and daylight-longer days.

This time of year is my favourite: just starting to get warmer; all the spring flowers coming into bloom; the trees beginning to show their blossom; cyclists on the road.... oh, yes, I'm a cyclist myself. When the cyclists appear you know we're heading towards summer. The local hills suddenly seem to be adorned with two or three times more walkers than during the winter months.

Love it! :)

You lot don't fool me, you all didn't bother to change them in October, and now they have caught up again   :P

Me too.

Everything is fresh and green in the spring. The flowers are lovely.

Primroses and daffodils crocuses.

Stupidest thing ever. Imagine the amount of money wasted each year (millions if not billions) changing the clocks twice a year as well as the inconvenience it causes for little or no benefit, especially when goverments are cutting spending for more worthy things like education, pensions and healthcare. Completely mad, if you ask me.
