I Hate The Clocks Going Back......

[EcclesCake]

The table lamp has been on since mid afternoon, the girls have been tucked up for over an hour it is pitch black. ☹️️

It's a long way to spring ☹️️

Poor Sally associates the dark with fear and loud noises. Now,as soon as I get her coat,jn stead of wiggling with happiness...she's trembling. And does so all evening. As for eating...that seems to go out the window...she may finally have her food super late.

My body clock is struggling, l've woken early each morning since the weekend, unable to sleep any longer than day break. But I do love the lighter mornings and its not long before we get to 21st and the shortest day. Once that is behind us, we've turned a corner on the way to spring.

In the meantime lets enjoy the apples, parsnips and butternut squash!

I am extremely lucky because I remain unaffected by the light or by the weather.

To me, getting out of bed feels like major surgery any day, so doesn't matter if it's daylight or darkness.

I can go to sleep if the sun is streaming through the window at mid-day or it's black as pitch.

I am lucky, and I do appreciate that.

I hate it too. I do feel sad during the winter months and long for Summer and the sunshine.

FGS, get over it, it happens, if you can't deal with it as a mature adult there's something wrong with you, it's an hour, man, or woman, up.

[Baldric]

Hi DB, ;o)

[Jackdaw33]

Perhaps I'm odd but I like it when the clocks go back. Come in, draw the curtains, put the lights on and snuggle in till tomorrow.

If you don't like experiencing the changing seasons, consider the alternative.....

I love it! An extra hour in bed and (t.b.h.) it's better than the gradual descent into darkness. I'm used to switching on the light already - and there are the lighter hours in Spring to look forward to.

When I lived in France, the response to any comment was a shrug and 'C'est l'hiver' then in Spring it was 'C'est l'ete' - with another shrug! Fine by me.:)

If it's any consolation the sun goes over the yardarm earlier.

[Baldric]

Somewhere in the World it's always over the Yardarm Tony,
;o)

[tonyav]

Very true, Baldric.
But earlier here now ;-)

[Baldric]

Good innit?

[tonyav]

Sure is, I'm enjoying it.

[-SharonA-]

Baldric, you are a hard man!!

[Baldric]

Used to be Sharon, starting to lose my grip on it a bit nowadays ;o)

Lots of nights out - that`s the way to brighten up winter.

I also like the winter months now, because it means I don't have to go to work for a while until spring. Hooray!

I found it tough when my son was young though. It's hard to get little children used to the change in times. When you used to wake up at six to the human alarm clock, it's now five.
