Changes of temperature.. in blackpropaganda

When we left our place in Spain it was C28 degrees - F80 - and when we got back to the UK it was half that, showery, and it has not improved much this morning. Officially the temperature is above the seasonal average - but we are feeling the cold - sweaters are on!
Everything worked out well - plane on time - good trip - and then fish and chips as our homecoming meal. The problem is we are not sure what time it is - since we have gained an hour on the way back.
So by the time we got to bed we were knackered - only to be woken at 3 am by what I thought was the clock alarm - I sleepily pressed a button and it stopped - then ten minutes later it started up again - and then it was clear it was the smoke alarm - needing a new battery - so I had to climb up and get the old battery out - and disconnect the alarms at the board. Just what you need at 3 am. So after a cup of tea we settled down again - but now I have no idea what the time is, when I should eat - and I have forgotten to buy a new battery! If we have a fire we will be incinerated.
Still, some good news when we got back - I won £25 on the Premium Bonds and £25 on the Lottery.
We are not home for long - next week we go to see the branches of our family as well as going to a lunchtime party for two 80 year olds. You know people are getting old when the parties are at lunchtime - I shall be driving so no drinking!
This is in a great spot in the Lake District - so just hope the weather improves before then.
It is noticeable how volatile the weather is - there were major showers and floods in Spain - and much of northern Italy was inundated with bad floods in Genoa and Tuscany. And what about the major snow storms in Nepal - not expected at this time of year. It looks like the effect of aspects of global warming are being felt.
