Daylight Saving is ..Off,.. Again

Evidently we have saved enough daylight for the time being.
I am sure that putting the clocks all back is a bigger job for me than it is for most people. My wife said to me this morning that I was pedantic. I'm not sure whether this was a compliment or not, I will have to look it up in the dictionary.
It could have something to do with the fact that my first move is to bring up the Greenich Mean Time site on the computer. It's a real beauty, it gives the progressive time to the second, then I start on the clocks with batteries in them. There are about 6 or 8 of them about, I wait till the second hand reaches the 60th second position, then I quickly remove the battery, next I set the hour and minute hand exactly to the new hour and the next minute and at exactly the right time indicated by Greenich, I quickly replace the battery, and whammo, off goes the clock again, at the new time and almost excatly on the second. If this is pedantic, it's great.
Next are all the other clocks, and they are to be found in all kinds of places, in the phones, on the fax, the oven, the micro wave, the sound system, the VCR and Video Recorders, even the Air Conditioning remote
, which I realise that I have omitted to alter. For all of this I have the real time.
Gone is the speaking clock which I used to have to ring and pay for the call, holding the phone to my ear to hear this cultured voice saying, "On the third stroke it shall be 11:55, at the third stroke it shall be 12 O'clock exactly" and so on until the call cut out. You will be pleased to know I'm sure, that this service is to stop after something like 30 years, (that's a guess). I did read that they found it to be five seconds out, they should refund my call money, 5 seconds indeed.



This is the clock in my office, it doesn't tell you that it is AM, that is nearly 3 in the early hours.
I am not sure that we should meddle with time, putting the clock back has upset the weather, my body clock is confused and my dog is confused. He came and peered in our lounge room window at about 5pm last night looking for his tea. They say that dogs can't see TV, I've always thought that this was a bit of a furphy, but if you could see Monty's blank look as he tries to peer through the lounge room window, you might believe this to be true.
As you read this blog, assuming that you are indeed still reading, you may even think that I too am too am a bit confused. You may be right, but it's not my fault.
I am going back to bed, but before I go, a couple of thoughts
Confucius says, "Man who runs in front of car gets tired,
But
Man who runs behind car gets exhausted"
The Bible says "Redeem the time" Is that save it or something a little different
Jesus says "I am the light of the world, He that follows me shall not walk in darkness but shall have the light of life"
In John 11 and 12 He also talks about walking while you have the light.
And back in chapter 9 He says "I must work the works of Him who sent me while it is day, the night is coming when no man shall work.
Hmmm there may be more to this daylight saving business than I imagined.
I had better go to bed, I don't really want to be one of those people of the night
Goodnight
