All through winter I was asleep due to the lack of daylight.
Now I'm struggling to stay awake because the sun shines right into my eyes at work!
Ach well.

I find my self sleeping better and waking earlier now.
Of course the clocks change at the weekend just to screw things up again.
Personally I wish they would change at the same time as most of the US clocks change (2 weeks ago earlier and a week or more later), if they have to change at all. I'd be very happy with GMT+2 all year round.
Grumble moan.
I am enjoying our delightful spring weather though. Let's hope it lasts.

O course, we could leave the clocks set to GMT and just change the working hours.
Friendly Regards

This is why I get fed up with people talking about "an extra hour of daylight". We could choose to have 12 noon at dawn and it wouldn't give us any more or less daylight, clocks and measured time are human inventions! O course, we could leave the clocks set to GMT and just change the working hours.
I agree, leave the clocks alone and change office hours.

My 'office' hours change regularly.
I work shifts(of sorts) so an extra hour of daylight makes no sense to me.
Besides, the cat has been waking us up at 5.30 to tell us he's hungry and the suns rising so...

Grrr. Some long lost cousin of mine has heard I will be in the UK next month and wants us to visit them. My sister-in-law has already agreed on my behalf as she wants to meet them again.
Bang goes any chance of red kite spotting .
She's also arranged for the brother who doesn't talk to me to come round for dinner. Should be a thrilling evening .
The things we have to do for a free bed.

hmmm... "She's also arranged for the brother who doesn't talk to me to come round for dinner"
I've got one as well, perhaps we could arrange for them to meet.

Sounds like fun Gwyn.
If you happen to be passing past Newcastle on your visit to the UK, it is well worth stopping off on the Derwent valley, I counted seven pairs of Red Kites on the way home last Friday, this valley is situated no more than ten minutes off the A1.link
