Dining by Daylight Savings

(timeanddate.com)

I will own up to being a fan of Daylight Savings.

Being Tasmanian (and therefore cold-blooded) born and bred, I am a non-summer girl

(and find myself asking how I ended up setting up residence
in a city that hits 40 degrees Celsius in summer)

but if winter has gone and there is no going back until next year,

then the extended light evenings are at least one of the benefits of summer

in spite of the heat.

We are lucky in that all Boozles, big and small,
adjust pretty much straight away to the time change sleep-wise.

This past weekend, we had our first outdoor family dinner.

Sprawled on the grass.

No ants and only a few mozzies.

Still balmy and sunny.

Mr Boozle is perfecting his paella

and I have to say-

having an evening where I don't have to cook,

where the kids will all eat something a bit exotic

and getting to scoff a seafood and chicken paella

with no messy table or floor to clean up at the end of it all....

it's mighty fine by me.
Even if my curtains are fading as we speak...
