Sommartid

This morning when I got up, I lost a whole hour.  Literally.  Pete has moved all the clocks in the house one hour ahead while I was sleeping.  No, he hasn't gone mad.  It's just that now it's sommartid or literally translated, summer time.  It's daylight-savings time. 

These days, the sun comes up earlier and goes down later.  So we are getting more and more light.  In winter, it was the opposite.  Starting from the end of summer, it gets darker and darker.  In winter, we would get as little as 7 hours of light a day, so we would turn the clock back an hour. 

So now the time difference between here and Singapore is back to 6hours.  Singapore is 6 hours ahead.  I am glad for the time change.  It makes it easier remember what time it is back home.  But most importantly, it's a signal that warmer weather will be upon us soon.  It was snowing a bit yesterday so it might not be that soon.  One can hope, anyway.
