Yay!! Daylight Saving is here!!!


Here in Sunny Launceston we look forward to Daylight Saving.
So this morning we woke up and all our
 clocks were put forward 1 hour.

I always seem to get a bit confused with Daylight Saving - 
yesterday morning I was convinced it had started and was 
trying to work out why the phone time had not gone forward - 
it wasn't until I gave up and turned the radio on that I realised 
I was a day early!
