Or, for those boring old manual clocks, you will have to put them forward an hour yourself. Alternatively, feel free to save time now and manually add an hour in your head every time you check the time, then after a few weeks get around to actually changing them, then spend a few weeks confused about whether you changed them or not and if you still need to add an hour and checking the time on your phone to make sure.
Loving life up here in QLD with my non-faded curtains and unshortened lifespan
Keeping the curtains in good condition is a terrible trial down here in Melbourne. I've gotten rid of the curtains entirely and saw someone else down the street had theirs out for hard rubbish too.
I guess it's necessary though, we just can't afford the costs of paying for everyone's retirements if we live too long, it's a sacrifice we need to make for the good of all. It's the poor cows and chickens I feel sorry for. Given the cat's recent demands for an early dinner lately I think our feline friends are the ones who will come out on top from the whole thing.
