Daylight Saving Time starts 2am Sunday!



It's that time of the year again that we either lose an hour of sleep or we gain another hour of shut eyed moment. Here's the schedule:


USA & Canada clocks
on Daylight Saving Time until:
Sunday 6 November 2011 2am local time.
Then on Standard Time until:
Sunday 11 March 2012 2am local time
Europe / UK clocks
on Standard Time until:
Sunday 25 March 2012 01:00 GMT
 
Australia clocks
on Daylight Saving Time

Cuba will end DST two weeks later this year
Delayed to 13 November 2011 at 01:00

This could be a bit confusing, but my only way to remember when to add an hour or when to go back an hour is when it's fall time, you FALL BACK (you switch the time an hour earlier) and on spring time, you SPRING UP (you switch the time an hour more).

So don't forget to adjust your time before you go to sleep!

My regular day ends with a cup of coffee and my daily Yahoo news. This article really caught my eyes because 1. A USED underwear has been auctioned... read: USED underwear, and 2. This used undergarment was sold for a whopping $15000. Apparently, this silk cream colored bloomers were owned by none other than...  the Queen

As per the news, the undergarments were worn by Queen Victoria in the 1860's.

Now I'm wondering how much are her socks...
