Silly Season.

They talk about Christmas being the silly season. I think that the next six months are the silliest season we have, because we have started Daylight Saving. It is of course, a misnomer. We do not in fact save daylight. There are still just as many hours in the day, as there were prior to today. Of course, all the lame jokes about it are starting to be trotted out again. For instance: Any dam water will be evaporated faster, because there is an hour's more sunlight, or, we will need to buy antifade curtains etc, etc.
I wish I were rich enough to be able to afford a place in Perth, W.A., then I would be able to live in a beautiful city and spend time with my son and his family, untill this idiotc time had elapsed.
It is very cold this morning. There is still no sign of Spring rains, which are desperately needed.My husband walked down the street and bought the Sunday paper, then he got the fire roaring, and sat on the lounge with the front door open, with the freezing air wafting in, so he could save a Bob by not putting the light on, so he could read the paper! As they say in America, go figure!

Got news for you - daylight saving is expected to be trialled in WA from Dec 1st for three years. Just has to pass through Parliament.

I thought they said, "Do the math (sic)" in America.

How many months will it go for?

Gotta get through Parliament first. I think after the first year we would be in line with the mainland states, length of timewise.
