Well, it's 2 o'clock In the morning
And I'm sittin' thinkin', wonderin'
Gettin' curious about one thing
Today we have lot in common
Setting the clocks forward one hour
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hating daylight saving time!
Don't forget to change your clocks tonight. We will lose one hour of Flickring. Oh the travesty!!!!
If it weren't for my sleeve doing that funky thing it is doing, I would have probably picked this for my 365. I have the "up to no good look" on my face.
For those of you who are affected by Daylight Savings Time, our troopers wanted to give you a kind reminder to spring forward and change your clocks!
This is a LEGO Alternative version for one of my daily shots of 365 Days of Clones.

In the UK the clocks went forward 1 hour at 1am on 31st March, moving from Greenwich Mean Time to British Summer Time!
In Wimborne Minster there is an astronomical clock (shown above) with the sun and moon orbiting the earth, which dates back to the year 1320. It was built by a monk named Peter Lightfoot at Glastonbury in Somerset.
The sun points to the time of day (there is no minute hand), and the gold/black orb represents the moon and shows the phases of the moon. When there is a full moon, it will be completely golden (like today!) and when there is an eclipse it will be completely black. The intermediate phases such as half-moon or a three- quarters moon, will be correspondingly shown as half black and half gold or three-quarters gold and a quarter black etc.
The casing on the wall holds the cogs, which move the sun and moon around the face of the clock, but the actual works are in the belfry.
Attached to the clock is a full size Grenadier, called the Quarterjack (shown below), which strikes the quarter hours. This figure is on the north wall outside the Minster. The original figure was that of a monk, but this was replaced during the Napoleonic War.
