Fall back

So the clocks went back an hour last night, and we are back on GMT. What a ridiculous fiasco this is twice a year.

• The reason all this started, apparently, was to aid the farmers who would work from dawn to dusk, and in the far North this became unsocial in the winter. Well that's just stupid. The number of hours of daylight is the same whatever you call them.
• In recent years the government's excuse has been that it is safer for kids to travel to school in the daylight... errr, what about travelling home in the dark?
• I think we should timeshift by an hour. i.e in the Winter we should be at GMT+1, and in the summer GMT+2, thus enabling us to have better and longer evenings when the majority of people want to socialise.
  

Bright grey morning so far, with blue bits here and there. Should be able to finish log caddy without too much trouble today. The Silver Vixen is raring to get out into the garden.
