The times have changed

Very literally!

Spain is two hours ahead of GMT in the Summer but one hour ahead of GMT in the Winter.



On Sunday morning at 3am the clocks went back an hour. That means that 3am became 2am. One night with a whole extra hour of sleep. Seeing that the weather is now dull and cool I guess the extra hour of sleep is not a bad thing.



Surprisingly, Sunday was a brilliant day. Winter made its debut with blue skies and sunshine. It felt like the clocks should not have gone back and hour. Spring was in the air, not Winter!! Whatever it may be, Spring is not in the air. The days have been getting shorter all the time. It had been getting dark at around 7pm but all of a sudden, with the loss of an hour, today it was darkening by 5.45pm! Shucks - dis nie lekker nie!!

I can sense the doom and gloom that Winter brings.
