When I lived in Perth, I was astounded by the hostility related to daylight savings time. I couldn't believe that people would object, let alone so vehemently, to an extra hour of sunshine in the evening, après work. This morning, as I'm force feeding myself coffee, fighting bouts of exhaustion nausea, and trying to keep my eyes open, I finally get it. Perth locals may not have been protesting the extra hour of daylight, they may have been rejecting losing the hour of sleep when the clocks changed over.
Today's mantra will be short term pain for long term gain. Or maybe I'll just pretend that I hopped on an airplane to someplace hot and lost an hour due to a geography related time change. That's always easier to stomach. Especially when March in the UK was colder than December, January and February for the first time since 1975.
