Remember the clocks go forward 1 hour at 2am on Sunday (Saturday night).

The hour will not be lost completely, it is being given as a no-interest loan to the Gods of Time, to be returned to us on 5th April next year.

Edit: Corrected my grammatical error, because https://aussie.zone/u/dan@upvote.au is right, even if I don’t want to admit it. It is Daylight Saving, not Savings.

    Alternatively, we are just repaying the Gods of Time for the additional hour we received in April this year. The Gods practise usury, hence we do not need to pay any interest beyond mild grogginess.

      It’s one of those chicken and egg questions, isn’t it?

      I consider the problems inherent in a sudden time change to be the price we pay for attempting to impose our own flawed mechanistic concept of time onto the natural flow of the seasons.
