What are you doing with your 'extra' hour?

The clocks have changed, and we've gained an hour. What are you doing with your extra hour today? I'm a night owl, and forgot that the clocks were changing, so got pretty confused last night! I watched TV for an extra hour
Time well spent.
Before some clever clogs comes along, I know we haven't really gained an hour, but I thought it could be fun!

Then woke up thinking I'd slept through the extra hour, only to realise the radio controlled clock by my bed didn't have enough signal to change itself overnight.
I've still got the shock of the car clock being wrong to come tomorrow... Every 6 months without fail I get in the car on a Monday to go shopping and have a brief moment of panic until I remember the clocks have changed...
We have a border collie. He is my brother’s dog really but he has turned into more of a family pet now.

Sadly mechanical watches gain or lose a couple of seconds a day so this is all pointless really but it is nice to have the hands all lined up correctly even if the time is not bang on the second!

If you do want to drive yourself nuts by adjusting a watch yourself then id recommend an app called Hairspring, excellent.
Yes mechanical watches are very fiddly and repairs are expensive, often more than a new watch. I have a lot of respect for watchmakers but the watches are a thing of beauty when you take them apart.
Luckily my watch and phone change automatically so I don't have to worry about changing them. I do have another watch, but it's mainly an accessory as I'm unable to see the face clearly. I don't change that one.
