Last night it happened again... us EU citizens had an extra hour of sleep because the 'daylight saving' kicked in once again. A depressing season has started in which darkness covers most of our free time. I personally hate this period in which it's completely dark already when leaving work to go home. Also I fail to see the importance of this switching back and forth every 6 months to be honest. The question where daylight is 'saved' pops up in my mind. I guess I don't get it but maybe that's just me...

I can't wait for spring to come back... *sigh*
