I’m getting ready to block my ears against the barrage of
complaints that I know are coming this weekend.
British Summer Time starts this Sunday, and every year it’s the same old
whining about losing an hour’s sleep.
Enough already!
British Summer Time is fab, and here’s why: longer evenings, relaxing
with friends, the sound of kids playing outside after school, peeling off the
winter layers, green shoots (and hopefully that includes the economy) and the
promise of better to come. It’s not just
a clock change. It’s a change of
mind-set as we slough off the lethargy of winter and prepare to re-energise for
the summer.
For a window cleaner, British Summer Time is especially good
news. No more getting up at silly
o’clock with the van smothered in a blanket of frost and windows cold enough to
freeze the brushes in an attempt to smuggle enough daylight hours into the
working day. Instead, we can enjoy
sensible hours, boosted by the songs of nesting birds and the warmth of a
returning sun on our backs.
We all take an hour forwards and backwards in our stride every
time we go on holiday. So stop the
whinging and instead think of all the positive things this means for the next
few months. British Summer Time is just
around the corner, and this window cleaner is preparing to celebrate.
