A brief interlude from the "here and now", before I return to processing the last part or two of my time travels to Germany in 1983. (The past couple of weeks have offered a good time to get on with that project, as spring outdoors has not been making much progress.)
Two days ago, like in the rest of Europe, it was time to set the clock(s) forward one hour again. I've never been in favour of the idea, and keep hoping that one day we'll all agree to stop that nonsense - but until that happens, there's not much one can do but try and adjust (oneself, as well as the timepieces one happens to possess). I am one of those who still own a number of clocks/watches that need to be tended to manually - and more often than not, I manage to forget at least one...
This time, I thought I had managed to remember them all - until Sunday evening, when I suddenly realised that the clock on the wall in my study (above my computer) was still on winter time. Which meant I had been "working" past my intended bedtime...
Not that it usually matters all that much these days (when I go to bed or when I get up) - it was just that this time I had meant to try to make a serious effort to adjust, as all winter I've been very lazy in my morning habits anyway...
Well, I had Monday to try to make amends (hm) before today, when I had a dentist appointment in town at 11:20 - which I know can't really be called early, but with my body clock still on winter time, and having to leave home about 9:30 "real time", it still felt early... Setting various alarms and reminders, I somehow managed it, though. ;)
Thankfully the last few wet and windy days had given way to more sunny weather, so once I got out there, it wasn't too bad. (Photo above taken on my walk into town.)
The dentist appointment was "just" an annual check-up, including x-rays - and luckily, not even those revealed anything that needed fixing. Afterwards, I visited the pharmacy to stock up on some various "dental health" related items - and, as a bonus, also my favourite tea shop. Besides stocking up on three of my usual favourites, I bought their special Easter blend: black tea with bergamot and passion fruit flavour.
Glad Påsk - Happy Easter!
Back home, after lunch, I lay down on my bed to rest for a while, listening to a radio podcast... And woke up again around 5:30 p.m. (summer time)...
So much for my efforts to "adjust", so far!! 😁
Barbie and Skipper are yawning, too, after having helped me decorate for Easter.
