BST (British Summer Time) is three weeks away. So on Sunday 25th March 2007 you are required by UK law to wait up till 1am then run around changing all your clocks FORWARD one hour. You then realise it is now 2am and collapse into bed.
Usually I find the whole changing clocks thing a fairly stealthy event. However somehow this year I have become aware that it will be happening with three weeks notice.
So I was wondering if I could get ahead of the game by moving my own time forward 20 minutes for the next three weeks?
It would mean that I would be 20 min early for everything this week, but also I would leave everywhere 20 min before I was supposed to, which might not be ideal.
Also, the following week I would be 40 min ahead of the world, which would be great. Early to work, early to bed, and I would be able to finish anything which takes less than 40 minutes before anyone else has even started it. Surely this in itself is a kind of mini super power!
And of course I would be acclimatised to that sudden jump to BST that everyone experiences. That inexplicable way you find yourself saying “the days seem much longer” when of course they aren’t.
I think the main reason this is going around my head is that it is 5:30am, I still can’t sleep and can hear the dawn chorus (well one or two birds anyway) but it isn’t light yet… so, all in, loosing an hour’s seems a fairly good idea at the moment.
