Clocks spring forward tommorrow/Sunday

Just a reminder: summertime starts officially at 3 a.m. Sunday morning.

Won't make any difference to me - I have to use my phone as a clock as every other phone in the house shows a different time and my watch still needs a new battery...

Thanks for the reminder! Spring forward - fall back, always easy to remember now!

Don't need a clock around here. We have two bladders that do the job. Mine and the dog's.
On my headstone it will say: Please switch off mobile phones. I'm trying to get some sleep.

It just means that I do a 14 hour day instead of a 13 hour one...... :D Our lives are more geared to actual daylight hours than this daft attempt to standardise the unstandardisable :roll:

Give or take a couple of minutes, the amount of daylight won't change much - not by an hour - so relax!

That's the theory :D In practice, I get up at the 'real' time anyway and work an extra hour of daylight in the evening. Relax?? In the spring??? Pffff...
