We turn the clocks back at 2 a.m. It’s the end of daylight savings time!
Modern-day daylight savings time was the brainchild of New Zealander George Vernon Hudson.
I’m guessing, since I know me, that I won’t stay up until 2 to officially turn the clocks. And I think I’ll spend the extra 60 minutes sleeping. Whee! Just another crazy weekend in my ultra-cosmopolitan life.

Of course! But then I’ll bemoan that darkness is coming earlier.
At least I can be thankful that I don’t live above the Arctic Circle.
I don’t think I could get used to all-dark or all-light or even that odd half-dark/half-light they get for such long periods of time.
Thanks for the reminder, I’d be wandering about all day tomorrow in ignorance. Now if I can just make my poor mother understand this!!! Dementia ain’t pretty.
Does she need to know the clocks get turned back? Or can you just do it and not explain yourself? I remember getting frustrated with my mother-in-law because even as she slipped into dementia, she still very much wanted things explained to her. I appreciated that. I really did. But it sure took a looong time (and several repeats) to do that.
I will be doing school work of my own, preparing a lesson plan for my kid’s class and getting ready to teach RE
What’s RE?
I am/will be trying to find designs (on the internet) and do cost estimates for materials for build-your-own benches for a shelter.
Crap. And here I am still looking forward to sleeping. You’re doing something worthwhile and me? I’m sleeping.
Are you kidding? While I’m dragging tomorrow, you will be rested and productive. I’ve actually found a good site with 50 something designs. Thank goodness for the internet!
I’ll be rested. Let’s not take bets on “productive.”
I also will shop for new curtain material and maybe do some sewing. Mom doesn’t know why the clocks need turning. I said that we turned them in the spring and now they need to go back and said, “Seems like a waste of time to me!” We’ll just change them for her on Monday as I’ve reserved tomorrow for me. She lives an hour away, or is it two now? LOL
You know what? She’s right. It does seem like a waste of time to turn the clocks. I understand for light-purposes, but there have been several years when I’ve forgotten and it’s very disorienting to realize everyone else is on a different time than you. I wonder what people did before the railway system forced us all to agree.
