Daylight savings

Our third year of trial daylight savings ends on Saturday night/Sunday morning (Simon’s birthday) in WA.  We won’t be here for the referendum to decide whether to make daylight savings permanent in WA.  I’ve found it great for evening walks after Harrison’s in bed (it’s too difficult for us to get ready for work and day care AND fit in a walk in the mornings, but pretty easy for me to leave Simon doing the bedtime story while I hit the pavement in the evenings).  It was lovely over Christmas when we could have friends over and have the kids running around the backyard while the adults relaxed.  We haven’t had a problem getting H to bed in daylight.  Many millions of people are putting kids to bed in countries where the sun sets at 10pm or later in summer without any difficulty.
