    Ok, yes, I'm 40 now.... oh, actually 41 as I had a birthday a week or so ago..... so, yes, age does come into it... but the heat, the age, the waking up at 5am due to sunrise and small boys who are so excited to start another day, and I sometimes want to put the pillow over my head and pretend I can't hear them calling "Mum, mummy, mummy, mum, muuuuuuuuummmmmmmmm".

    But bring on this time change I say!!! My kids will go to bed at a better time (my little 2 year old was in bed yesterday before 6pm and my 4 year old by 6.30pm. So I got to relax for 2 hours and watch a DVD - which I didn't even finish because I was too tired and in bed myself by 8.30pm.....

    Yes, getting old and very sad!!!

    Love.....Courage.....Destiny

    I guess time ran out on the time change...
    Indonesia has delayed a plan to create a single time zone for the sprawling archipelago this month because of slow-moving bureaucracy.

    ...Indonesia is known for an inefficient bureaucracy and red tape, key challenges for investors in Southeast Asia's largest economy.



    That's a shock!

    I am accustomed to have "daylight saving" (sincerely never understand about what we really save!) and, sincerely, it change absolutely noting, noting else than have some people that will be late or early of 1 hour because they will have forget to change their time...

    Only the prayer will be mess up about when the hell is the morning?

    I have always wonder how muslim manage the timing of their morning pray when they live in northern country like Canada where through the year the time of sunset varied from a range of 2:30 hour (from 5:05 to 7:34 for Montreal)

    In summer, at the longest day, the sun set at 8:45 and we still have light for 1 more hour, it's very nice for make BBQ!
