Firstly, the most notable thing that changes daily is the weather. On average, since August, the sun has been setting about 20 minutes a week earler. Some days it loses up to 6 minutes in time that it shines. Its the most bizarre sensation. the sun starts setting at 15h30 and by 16h30, its dark, and I mean DONKER! Makes you want to start cooking supper.
It also explains another aspect of fika. The midafternoon slump, and to fool yourself that you dont need to make supper at 4 PM, you have a fika, it works wonders.
But not so much for the waisteline!
To combat this lose of daylight, most European countries (and Namibia, strangely enough) introduces Daylight Savings Time. As from the 31st of October, all watches move back one hour. No its not a halloween prank, its serious.
So come Sunday morning, i set my alarm clock...wake up, get ready for church, and realise I am one hour ahead...DOH! I can almost assure you that I was not the only one who was an hour early.
When summer comes and I have to move it foreward an hour its going to be fun explaining that.
So, Sweden, who was GMT +2, is now GMT +1. Takes a bit of getting used to:)
And to coincide with the first Day Light Savings time, I have started a movement here, a fashion movement that is a few decades back in time, not one hour.
"Mo"-vember. Growing a Moustache for the Month of November, hence: MOVEMBER. Its actually an australian concept (trust them to come up with it), but its actually for a good cause. Check out www.za.movember.co.za for the laugh.
So a clean shaven look persists for this week and a moustache will follow suit, I will post a picture for sure.
So, a preview for the next post: LONDON BABY!!
