Time Shifts
Because I keep having to look it up in variously clumsy ways. I wish I could get my brain to agree to remember this.
(GMT)Edinburgh, London
(GMT +01:00)Much of northern Europe
(GMT -08:00)West Coast USA
(GMT +10:00)East Coast Australia
So right now it's 1:30pm here in Den Haag, 4:30pm in the Bay Area and 11:30pm all on Saturday, January 30. Subject to change as day light savings shifts, of course.
I'm in The Hauge now, will move back and forth between Den Haag, Ulvenhout and Amsterdam until Saturday. Then flying to Switzerland for the van Glabbeek Brothers and Friends yearly ski week. No, I am not skiing. I shall join the group only for apres ski. During daylight hours I will walk in the snow, knit a baby blanket for R&F while listening to music that A&C gifted me with, teach myself about my new used laptop with it's French keyboard and read. I expect to be very happy with it all.
Rrrob and I will stay a night in a hard won, prebooked pension in Zurich,spend a day sightseeing and catch our evening flight to the USA. There we spend two weeks or so. Rob goes home and I stay a bit longer.
This is the first trip away from Sydney that I have a longing to go back. Feels so weird. I was beginning to think I'd never shift to thinking of anywhere but California as home.

I bought it as my Amsterdam souvenir and to read during the ski week for provactive purposes. I hope it'll spark interesting conversations and if not I'll get the private amusement of having my oddities ignored. Meanwhile I had been stuck here (Rrrbrother S&S) waiting for them to come back from their horse with their computer pass coded, my novel finished, the current ball of yarn done, and a vacuum cleaner in the back ground so no tv even if I could figure out their four remote controls. Worse, they do have Lots of books but in Dutch. Obviously they've called to say they'll be yet another hour late, giving me the pass code and the SD&M returns back to the bag for ski week.
