Daylight Savings

This weekend the clocks went forward an hour - 3 weeks ahead of schedule. Lots more daylight = less power consumption. It was nice to walk home in the daylight, sauntering along the treelined boulevards ... checking out all the spring flowers, the cherry tree blossoms and the willow trees with new green. Nice, Nice, Nice! Especially nice after 3 days of hard rain over the weekend.

It might be all about daylight savings time, but I watched a BBC documentary last night on 'Global Dimming' - the amount of sunlight is being reduced. Around 16% over the British Isles since the 1950's. Here's what WIKIPEDIA has to say about it. CLICK ME.
