Daylight savings... Are you a fan?

Are you reading our blog in the daylight? Or is it night where you? What do you think about daylight savings? Do you prefer being outside in the day or the night? The time will change soon back an hour and daylight savings will come to an end. Will this disrupt your routine and how long might it take you to adjust? But let’s remember an hour lost, is an hour gained. 
We hope you enjoy our bloggers thoughts below on daylight savings which is right around the corner. 

Hello readers, welcome back to my blog, today we are writing about daylight savings.
For me I like when the day is push forward because I know that means longer days and summer is close. I love summer it is my favourite. For me it doesn't really change my routine but I still love it.
I always have a busy week. I have a lot of support around me and this make me happy.
I go to day program like Just Write, Hellow Media which is on Thursday, and I play basketball on Wednesday afternoon. Some days I have my work which is awesome. I love working at the Rosebud RSL, and Wheels La Cafe.

During spring and summer I spend a lot of time with my family and friends doing stuff like walking at the park, go shopping with my mum, having fun with my close friends and I spend time with my Brother PJ who drives me around in his van. He is a good brother.
Thankyou for reading my blog, Thomas 


Day light savings is coming to an end and today I am blogging about it to you. Hello readers how are you? Some days are longer and some days are shorter. In the summer it's longer. I can swim at 9 o'clock at night because it is still daylight and warm.
The winter is very dark very early and no swimming, as it’s too cold.
But guess what, I have a spa! I can sit in my spa in the winter to stay warm. In the summer it's nice because my dad is on the bbq and he cooks lots of nice food.

We are losing daylight soon because the days are getting shorter and it's winter coming.
My mum likes to cook pasta when it's cold, and my dad likes to do the bbq when it's warm in summer. That's when my mum does yummy salads.

I like winter because I can cozy up with warm clothes. But I also like summer because it's warm and sunny.
My blog is good today, from Claire. 


Day light savings... do you love it or hate it?
Our days will be shorter soon and it gets darker quicker.
Daylight savings gives me time to work on my mower for longer because it is light until 9pm some times. Daylight savings also allows me more time to work, catch up with friends and enjoy my life.  Going to the pub with friends and sometimes we go fishing and have lots of fun.
  
One day Gerry fell out of the boat and it was so funny. I hope I never forget that memory as he was dear to me.  Winters are good too with the bonfires.
Thank you to my readers every week,
Nick 


Why do we have daylight savings?  
During the summer months in Australia, we have daylight savings because we can utilise the longer days and the natural sunlight. 
How daylight savings works in the spring time, the clocks Spring forward an hour and in the Fall (Autumn) the clocks fall back an hour. 

Daylight savings has been around for many years, its lead to believe that Benjamin Franklin (he didn’t invent it) but suggested daylight savings to reduce the use of candles. 
Australia adapted to daylight savings for World War one and World War Two to reduce energy usage. 

An AI Review from the internet says “daylight savings didn’t start in the 1970s but it was widespread and adapted by many countries by the government seeing potential for energy conservation by maximising daylight hours during the nights”.

At first when the clocks turn either forward or backwards, I get confused, tired early, and I sleep in. But after a while I get used to it.

But I like both, because in the summer time I can stay out later with friends, without having to be in the dark of the night. In winter when it’s raining at night time, you can hop into bed and snuggle up with a warm doona and pets and watch a movie, not caring about wasting any daylight. 

Thank you for dropping by and reading,
Haley


Daylight Savings. Love it or loathe it...
In the grand scheme of things daylight savings isn't that big of a deal, that being said I don't know how I feel about daylight savings. I don't love it and I don't loathe it either, I guess I’m a bit of a fence sitter when it comes to daylight savings. I know that for me it causes a bit of drama with things like routine, sleep and confuses the heck out of the dog when it comes to dinner time. Once I get used to the change in times, I don’t seem to mind it either way.

I often wonder what my dog thinks is happening during daylight savings, I hope he doesn’t think that we are starving him for an hour, does he feel the changes in time and when its lighter or darker at night? I wonder if he feels shaken up by the slight changes in his routine and life? Honestly, now that I think about it it might be a lot harder on our animal friends than it is on us.

This feels like something that most people might overlook and I just had a discussion with Haley about how it must affect her furry family members and especially at breakfast and dinner or any other feeding times. I think that it is important that we give our beloved pets/furry family members some extra love and understanding because they might not know what is happening and that must be confusing for them.

I wish that I could explain to all the animals what is happening and why some things have changed in their routine. If anyone speaks cat, bird or dog maybe you could take one for the team and put the animals at ease. That would be awesome and the world would thank you or at the very least the animal world would. I think I might have gotten a little off track with the blog topic but that's ok, it’s still about daylight savings and I need to think about if I like daylight savings or not.

Do you like daylight savings or are you a fence sitter like me?
Have the best week and I support you!
Your friend,
Shan.


Do you like the start or the end of daylight savings and why?

Dear readers, today’s topic is about daylight savings. I don’t know if I really like the start of daylight savings and the reason is the days are longer. I don’t like losing an hour sleep at the beginning, some people are grumpy from losing sleep, but I do like daylight saving when it ends because I get one hour of extra sleep. The birds love it because they can stay out longer. 

A little fact about daylight savings is that it starts the first Sunday of October. 
The reason it began was to move the clocks forward in the warmer months so that darkness falls at a later time. 

Who came up with the brilliant idea of moving the clocks forward on the weekend… in the middle of the night? Why not move them ahead on a Friday around 4pm. I think there would be a lot of support for that. 
Daylight savings gives me more time to shop and see my friends.
Daylight savings is a huge mood booster.
This is Bethany signing off until next week.


Hello and welcome to another daylight-ful weekly blog. Today we are talking about daylight savings and how it affects people’s lives. Did you know daylight savings began in 1916 in Tasmania and a year later in the rest of the country and was periodic in the early days due to the war in 1942. After 1944 daylight savings was not used again until October 1st 1967 when it was reintroduced in Tasmania. In 1971 in Victoria, ACT, New South Wales and South Australia and Queensland all reintroduced it. It was abandoned in 1972 but was re-trialled in 1989. It was abandoned again for good in Queensland. Western Australia trialled daylight from 2006-2009 but was abandoned for is unpopularity. The Northern Territory hasn’t used daylight saving since 1944. I love daylight savings because it means we get more light.

How long does It take you to adapt? What are your thoughts on daylight saving?

Keep being awesome.
Ben


Good morning readers, today’s topic is daylight savings.
For me, daylight saving is when we gain an hour during summer and when we lose an hour during winter. It makes me sad when I lose one hour. Because I cannot see my friends. When the weather is nicer I like going for wheels outside with my support worker. 

When the day is longer I do more things like swimming, arts and craft.  I also like doing a podcast and Radio and l listen to music and my favourite  music is pop music.
Going out for dinner and coming to Umbrella Support on Thursday where I do blogging and Media.

How do you like to spend your day? Thank you for reading my blog. Ben 2



Dear readers, today topic is daylight savings.
Readers I have a question, do you like the start or the end of daylight savings? 
Let me start by telling you, I like the start of daylight savings because I have longer daylight hours. However, I don't like losing that one hour of sleep when the clocks are turned forward. But I gain an hour of sleep at the end of daylight savings. So I guess it all balances out. 

During daylight savings I like to listen to music on Spotify whilst sitting outside under the carport and I like to read inside and look out at the sun.

More daylight saving hours gives me time to feed the neighbour’s horses which I love and also more shopping time for Mum and I.

Daylight savings is ending at the beginning of April and I'm looking forward to having more sleep and no more hot weather.
