Don't forget to set your clocks! Daylight savings this Sunday morning
Don't forget to set your clocks forward this Saturday night, as daylight savings will come to an end at 2:00am on Sunday morning. The start and finish of daylight saving is used every year as a reminder for people to check their emergency plans and smoke alarms. New Zealand first adopted daylight saving as a trial in 1974 and despite some opposition, especially from farmers, it was officially locked in from the last Sunday in October to the first Sunday in March. In 1990, after a further trial period, it was decided to extend daylight summer hours further for 24 weeks from the first Sunday in October until the third Sunday in March the following year.The current daylight saving period, which began in 2007, runs from the last Sunday in September until the first Sunday in April.

Amazingly quiet night in Green Bay
All the Best for the New Year! The last few years they started banging days earlier already, but this year it was amazingly quiet. Now either people suddenly got smart and care about animals and the environment (which I don’t believe for a second) or it’s the clearest sign of the Cost of Living Crisis we are in. I’m just glad I can make a damn fine bread for under a dollar.
