Daylight savings this weekend

Time to turn the clocks forward one hour Saturday night or early Sunday morning if you insist on waiting until 2:00am. :p

Some also use this time to change the batteries in their smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

There are a bunch of Air Cadets that are very happy to lose an hour this weekend - they are off on winter excersise and will be sleeping outside in makeshift lean to thingies. Just packed my Air Cadet up and put a load of those hand warmer things in her bag so she can stuff the sleeping bag with them:rofl:

It's because God took half an hour more creating Newfoundland.

The only difference it makes to me is that if I want to chat to my sister in BC its only an hour behind instead of two.
