We Don't Need Your Autumn!

We have only 2 weeks left of our spontaneous evening surfing after work. The days are already significantly shorter: the sun sets around 8:00-8:30pm and as we leave work at 5pm, there is just a couple of hours of daylight left (excluding 40 minutes of driving to Piha). We get to see amazing sunsets, that's great... But it is sad to see the summer go...

And we'll be moving to daylight saving time on 20th of March. Now this seems to be sheer madness to me! They will cut our evenings short by one hour just like that! Everybody at work loathes the idea, everybody's hobbies will be affected: gardening, golfing, surfing, cycling, any outdoor activities that you need the daylight for! It will be to work before dawn and back home after dusk every day!!! :( So we'll be moving into the long slumber period of pizza on the coach very soon... :(

The ironic thing is that summer is at its best now. It hasn't really rained since my mother was visiting (over a month!), the days are sunny, peaceful and warm. I still can lie in a hammock reading books after work, wear Tshirts, sleep under a thin sheet (no blanket!), take sun... Its great! Who got this idea that it is supposed to be autumn now?!?! Give our evenings, our time and our summer back!!!
