An extra hour in bed, unless you have small children as they do not usually take advantage of this.;)

Spring forward Fall back :)
 
I hate this time of year when it starts getting dark before 5pm. It usually means me staying in more and eating more chocolate and sugary stuff. But this year I will have to get out more exercising and keeping off the sweet stuff.
Roll on the Spring. Only five months to go. :(

Me too. I try to console myself with the thought that the earliest sunset (not quite the same thing as the shortest day) is round about 13th December in the UK and the evenings start drawing out thereafter. Admittedly, the latest sunrise isn't until some time in early January but I don't notice it so much at that end of the day.

By the end of January, sunset is after 5.00 pm again in my neck of the woods, and you can start to see light at the end of the tunnel so to speak.

Actually, there's a slight advantage to us this weekend, in that we're driving up to Sheffield tomorrow, to visit our son, and we'll have an extra hour in bed before we have to get up. I always was the "glass half full" type :).
 
I wonder if my liver will get the memo or whether it will still be dumping in British Summer Time :confused:
