"I'll leave when the clocks change"
Mar. 26th, 2007 09:12 amYou know, every year I forget how very very painful daylight savings time is. And every year I have a horrible shock to the system when that vile and unpleasant weekend rolls around again.
It's currently 9.13 am by my computer's clock. My body is screaming at me that it's 8.13 am, and that I've been awake since 7.30 am. My body is also decidedly unimpressed by this.
For those who are interested, my weekend was a pleasant mishmash of people, pub and pretendy fun games. The only moment of alarm was when I arrived home at 11 pm last night to find the front door hanging open.
My first, and very panicked thought, was that we'd been burgled. A quick scan of the living room negated that - the TV, computer, and assorted other things were still there. I guess someone just failed to shut the door properly on the way out of the house. My next worry was whether we still had two cats. We had one - Myrddin - who was wandering around looking entirely unconcerned.
(of course it was Madoc who went missing! How could it possibly have been anyone else?)
Thankfully, I reclaimed Madoc within about five minutes. He was found two doors up, huddles in the doorway of an empty house, mewling somewhat pathetically. I presume he wandered outside and got scared and/or lost, and so just found shelter and hid.
In other news, this is the final week of my term time. I've got an essay deadline today, the head of course is looking at my studio portfolio tomorrow, and I've got a tutorial at some point this week.
I'm actually rather nervous.
