Daylight Savings – Brilliant!

Posted on September 28, 2008 by swiggs

Here I am sitting here at the batch with a drink in hand and the BBQ sizzling away with a steak and some other things and I just realised its 7pm. Last night we lost an hour of our sleep, but what we gained was anextra hour of our daylight at the end of the day. What are you using this extra hour for.
Well the first day of daylight savings was a cracker here in New Plymouth. A day where I wish open homes didn’t exist so I could have been down at the beach with everyone else. Open home numbers were very low. I wonder why. Once the open home finished it was a case of pack up the family and friends and off to the batch where I find myself writing this before the battery on the laptop dies while dinner is cooked on the BBQ.
Winter this year was pretty grim and with the credit crunch and tough economic times I wouldn’t be the only one to say that it hasn’t been the easiest time to get through. But when you get days like we had today how could you feel down on life. And the extra bonus of an extra hour of twilight sun it’s just great.
Just looking today at the houses I was doing open homes on, they looks fantastic. The flowers are all out in full colour, the smells are nice, the temperature is nice and warm and the days are longer. It’s a great time to be selling property in terms of presentation. Everything looks great and with a little work on the edges your property can really stand out in the crowd at the moment.
Heres looking forward to a nice warm and sunny summer. Right now I am off to have the first BBQ of the season.
