We go home in the dark all year, which is really quite sad, especially when we are missing out n valuable daylight hours in the morning....apart from James, of course, who wakes up at dawn!juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02591920483149775255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9959776.post-22819273088370942222010-06-30T12:08:37.219+01:002010-06-30T12:08:37.219+01:00I have not seen the piece of news either.

And I have an old conviction that Japan should not have "summer time".<br /><br />It is formidable for millions of office workers walking home (walking from the office to a railway station and then a railway station to home) at 4 p.m. standard time in a summer day in a climate perhaps warmer than today. It is still hot at 5 p.m., but this is more tolerable.<br /><br />Situation may be different in higher latitudes. I did not object a colleague of mine in Hokkaido who is in favour of time shift. Maybe we will have different time zones across Tsugaru Strait.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13437041108856598560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9959776.post-13232902883401087472010-06-29T23:57:59.393+01:002010-06-29T23:57:59.393+01:00Actually, Iceland is just below the Arctic Circle ...Actually, Iceland is just below the Arctic Circle and so there are some rather short days around WInter Soltice.David B.
