Time and Time Again

It is 03 April 2011. We gain an hour today as Daylight Savings Time ends for New South Wales and some other states in Australia. Officially, the clock turns back at 3 AM. This means we will revert to being just 2 hours ahead of Manila.

Spring forward, fall back.

We lost an hour last Spring and are gaining an hour this Fall.

Winter will be upon us soon.

This was the topic of our conversation in the car last night on our way to dinner.

I asked, "Are the days longer or shorter in winter?"

GI couldn't resist teasing me. He replied sarcastically, 'The same, Mom. There will still be 24 hours."

If RD wasn't between us, I would have given my firstborn a bop on the head.

(In the end we figured out that days are shorter in the winter.)
