Aspies For Freedom

The time moved forward an hour tonight didn't it?

yes from 2AM (UK).

Thanks! I thought that it was from midnight.
So it is actually 3am now?
It seems my sleeping pattern is going to get even more messed up than it already is.

Yes you can sleep until 1-2PM, lucky you! I have to set off for work at 1:40PM.

My head gets messed up with the time changes now I'm in Australia. Firstly, I could never get which way to move the clocks until my mum told me a saying she got from my sister in New York - "Spring Forward, Fall Back".

That made sense  - for ten years I remembered about "Marching forwards".......and now, of course, in Australia March is autumn, not spring. Worse, I now have to remember that our clocks go back, but all my relations' clocks have gone forward ...... thus reducing the time difference by two hours. Add to that the added complication that South Australia has decided, quite eccentrically if you ask me, to have their time zone half-an-hour out of step with the rest of the planet and the stage is set for total confusion. E.g., last week if I phoned my family in the U.K. or Ireland I would have to remember that we were ten-and-a half hours ahead. Now it is eight-and-a-half. I have decided to keep a clock on British/Irish time because my head hurts.

What time is this board on? I posted the above at ten past noon local time.

I like this time of year, shorter nights, lighter evenings, onset of spring.

Makes me feel a little happier and more optimistic.

My computer clock is now 2 hours ahead of the Forum time. DST came on at 01:59:59 AM. I think they began with DST in Sweden in 1980; I've some slight memories of that.
