It takes me a few days to get used to clock changes (both of them) - like mini jet-lag, but it's not a problem. By the time we get to November I'm leaving for work in the dark and arriving home in the dark anyway. What I do find weird is going to foreign climes where it's stinking hot but dark by 7pm . I like all our proper seasons.

I love our changing seasons as well. Grumbly people will grumble whatever happens, too cold, too hot, too dry, to wet, don’t we have the same amount of day and night hours regardless of what the clock says.

I work but on contract terms - I'm paid for doing a task and not for turning up. So I work the hours in the day that I chose - starting or finishing a bit earlier or later is no one's business but mine. It's much better for me but some jobs can't be done that way - a receptionist has to be on reception when the world says it's time to open the doors.
I used to find the clock change more of a problem when I was catching trains most days. Although even then, I liked the reversion to GMT because I was already coming home in the dark - that glimpse of daylight in the morning, standing on the platform, was just about all that stopped me feeling like a troglodyte.

I think for me, it's more psychological than physical. I don't suffer from SAD like Hostafan, it's just the feeling of "another summer over" more than anything. When l go in the shops and there's Halloween stuff, fireworks and Christmas stuff all in together , l find that really depressing ! It's like wishing time away, if you know what l mean.

I love Autumn and Winter as long as it doesn't rain too much and I can get out on weekends. It helps being self-employed so I can work in the dark and make the most of shorter days if I have to.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

I remember once laying turf by floodlight at 8pm in December.
