Clocks Back!
Tonight i have been enjoying the last of daylight savings until the clocks go forward in October. Tonight the clocks will go back one hour at two PM meaning that i will gain an extra hour in bed but tomorrow night onwards will see darker evenings. Im not looking forward to them.
One other benefit of gaining an extra hour tonight is that we can all get to enjoy an extra hour of drinking time in the pubs for St Patricks Day. Tonight we went for a walk to the city centre along the river enjoying the very warm day we have had before it turns cold again tomorrow. Lots of people were out wearing green and getting ready to enjoy the night. Im sure that a few had NO Irish ancestry whatsoever and quite a few dont even know where Ireland is but i guess it is all fun and the publicans will rake in a tidy profit just like Hallmark does on Valentines Day.
I wonder if people actually celebrate St Patricks Day in Ireland?!

Good luck with the time change, Kevin. We "sprang forward" last Sunday. I love the lighter evenings.
Hope you had a great Saint Patrick's Day.
I love how things are opposite in the two hemispheres. Happy ST. Patty's Day!
We just went ahead last weekend. I never thought of you guys doing the reverse. D'uh. That just screws up my mind for countries on the equator.
Have a happy St. Patty's Day whether you're Irish or not.
I got so confused by this whole post until I remembered you're beneath the equator. This whole "the Earth is round" idea screws me up all of the time. :P
We Spring forward next week so I will be losing an hour! Happy St Pats, I was just chatting with a friend in Dublin and yes they do celebrate it there, Big Time !!
Remember to give us our hour back in six months or so
You guys do daylight savings time down under too??
OMG, I was all confused there for a second until I remembered the seasons are opposite. Sunday evening brain fart! ;)
