Daylight Saving
Daylight Saving time ended last weekend for us in NSW, Australia. The half yearly ritual of changing times to be enjoyed by all.
It amazes me how many clocks I have in the house. There are two in the living room, one is on the wall with Roman numerals, another on the VCR. The bedroom has another, the children's bedrooms do not. The bathroom has a tiny one so that the children can time how long they brush there teeth, without it they tend to complete the task in 10 seconds.
The kitchen is not clock free. The microwave is never switched on since it would otherwise always draw power, besides food from a microwave is damaged and no good anyway. We use the microwave for heating hot packs whenever any of us have sore muscles. The oven does have a clock on it which is a total waste but it can't be turned off so it has to be set.
And then the car has a clock as well.
Thankfully the 2 mobiles phones and 2 computers do their own time changing. That brings us to the cameras, the film ones need no time changes but the digitals do. Syncronizing them for those times when you have 2 or more and are shooting frantically. It helps sequence your shots timewise in Lightroom between your cameras or any cameras used by other photographers doing the same shoot for the one studio.
Changing all of those clocks is not a huge hassle but do we really need to be reminded how quickly time goes by no matter where we are?
