Time

Time is a funny thing. Today signals the first day of British summertime and at midnight last night the clocks went forward an hour.

“Time is free, but it's priceless. You can't
own it, but you can use it. You can't keep
it, but you can spend it. Once you've lost it
you can never get it back.”

I am sure that we will all hear stories today about the PEOPLE that forgot to turn the clocks forward. Some PEOPLE will wake up confused and some PEOPLE will be late for; their bus, the race, work, church, football games and sunday dinner. Some PEOPLE will miss a TV or radio programme. Some PEOPLE will let someone down, some PEOPLE will get stood up. Some of this will matter, some of it won't.

PEOPLE that went out last night will feel like they have been robbed. PEOPLE who are lonely will be happy to give that hour away. PEOPLE will spend the day and the next few mornings saying, its this time, so really it's that time. Some PEOPLE will use it to their advantage and some PEOPLE will use it as an excuse.

The mornings will be slightly darker and harder, the evenings will be brighter, some PEOPLE will fancy a walk in the park. By the time Wednesday comes everyone will have settled into the new time zone.

Although that hour is lost, we will get it back in October, what will you do with it?
