Hello darkness, my old friend (not)

Now, while I am generally pro-daylight savings time, even though it does make calculating arrival and departure times at Coolangatta airport somewhat fraught with error on occasion, what we don't like (and I'm including Steve here in this diatribe) is awakening at 6am not, to Fran Kelly, because that's a good thing, but to darkness. Very darkness. Very dark darkness. We hate it in fact. In fact at the moment, we don't see the first rays of the sun poking up above the Billen Cliffs until around 7ish, which is almost the time we get in the car and head to work.
So, we shall both enjoy the ending of daylight savings on Sunday at least for a month or so anyway, by which time when the tables will turn and we'll be arriving home in near darkness. Bugger.
