Did you see the aerobatics over the harbour this afternoon?

No, I'm in Tawa so we can't see quite that far :-)


Ah! We were actually coming out of The Warehouse in town and wondering
what all the Japanese tourists were pointing at...

Ohmigod! I lived in Belgrave Square for a couple of years, first

Wow! That's totally amazing. I'm not 100% sure (I'd have to go back and find
some the letters that my mother sent me during that year to get the exact
address), but I'm pretty sure we lived within a few doors of each other if
not in the same building.

Now, *that's* freaky. I was there 94/95.


I always wanted a "garden apartment"

LOL. I always said it was a fancy way to say you lived in the basement
(which was basically where our apartment was).

Yup. But at least you had access to "outdoors". When I moved back
home to NZ, I swore I'd always have a back door step to sit on during a
warm summer's evening.

Nope, I happen to be German, born and bred here :-)

I totally agree. I lived with Daylight Savings Time my whole life
until I moved to Indiana in 1993. Wow, I so do not miss DST. It's so
stupid! The only problem with not having it is that they still have
it in all the other states where people I love live, and they (and I,
but less so) get confused about "what time it is there", etc. :-)

Also, now I know when they are on "real" time and when it is adjusted.
And now I know that DST lasts a full 6 months. I didn't pay
attention to that stuff before I moved to a place that doesn't do DST.

But why would you want it?


I hear ya! We did try daylight saving a few years back and we *hated* it.
Don't need it, don't want it.

We do both standard and daylight here, and I have to tell you that
daylight savings time is the BEST. I wish that we would do away with
standard time completely.

I have to agree - would rather have it light in the evening than at
6am! We still have a few weeks to go and its already light way too
early for my liking here!

Yeah, and because of the way the earth tilts or rotates or whatever (I'm
not an astronomer, but my hubby works with one, so I hear about this
stuff second hand), sunrises get earlier faster, before sunsets start
occurring later (I always thought it was even, but it's not), so we
really get nailed with this morning light thing for a long time before
it finally changes.

When I was a kid, I would get up to go to school in the dark, and then
get home and have an hour left to play outside. If they had left it on
DST in the winter, I would have still gotten up in the dark, but I would
have had two hours to play outside after school. Then when I started
working, I rarely saw the light of day in the winter. No wonder SAD is
such a problem in Canada. I'll bet that just getting rid of standard
time would help at least a little bit. Some people might actually get
to see an hour of light after they get home from their day jobs.

Sometimes I get annoyed with how dark it gets this far north in the
winter, but then I remind myself of the fact that it's so easy to catch
sunsets in the winter (that is, if you're not stuck in some indoor job),
and that they often light the sky on fire for up to an hour. Truly
beautiful. Even better if you get a northern lights show later on.
