India Standard Time (IST, GMT+5.5hrs) is five and a half hours behind Australian Eastern Daylight Savings Time (AEDT, GMT+11hrs).
For those of you with daylight savings, you know just how much losing that hour of sleep hurts. Getting up at 7am when your body is grumbling loudly that it's only 6am, bugger what the clock says.
Well, it's like that, but five and a half times worse.
Each day, we have forced ourselves to get up an hour earlier - the alarm is going off at 8am tomorrow (not least because I have to be in Queenscliff by 9am) - so the 6:30am alarm on Monday will not seem any more unreasonable than it usually does. Just really bloody glad we had the better part of a week to recover before heading back to work.
And as a quick aside, BlogPress, my preferred iPad/iPhone blogging app, has now issued updates, so it works again. (Hooray!!!) I am typing this on my iPad while watching the Djokovic/Murray semifinal on telly (Murray won the third set, just, but Djokovic is 4-0 up in the fourth).

ReplyDeleteI really shouldn't post drunk, nor while watching telly. Edited to add that it's BlogPress, and it's still the best blogging app I've found for the iPad.
