Hi Gail, Brenda, Rolanda and vdV!

G'Day Stella

mmm I know. try to explain that to the 18 year old and the 21 year old

Hello Stella..

and Brenda

So is UTC = GMT? Our clocks switch a week later this year. Not exactly sure why but it doesn't make any difference to me.

Hi Stella and Rolanda
When they have kids of their own they will then understand Rolanda, and even then you will worry about them too

makes a difference here Stella, 1 hour difference..

I know Brenda, my Mum gets herself in a stew over her grandchildren !!!

GMT is time in England which is 0 in time zone Australia UTC (as vdV says) is GMT+11 and you will be a minus number for me Stella

We all slept in this morning! Hubby and S#2 are late for school and work. Somehow the alarm got turned off. They both need the alarm, but I usually don't. I didn't get a good sleep so I slept through my internal alarm!

Brenda you will be GMT+9 to me and the rest of Western Australia

So I'm GMT - 6. There's a 6 hour difference, right?

Got to go as DH is coming in any minute for lunch (time here is nearly 1pm)

So what has everyone been up to lately? Anything good?

what time is it in Saratoga Stella
next week when we go on Daylight you will have to add 1 hour to the time difference.
the following week when you come off Daylight Savings, you need to add another hour to the time difference

So there is only a 5 hour difference!

OK, now stop it, all of you! You're all just talking gibberish. You know that all time is now measured as SST, Sudoku Standard Time!

enjoy your lunch Brenda

GAIL, yes there is SST as well, here in Perth it is SST -2

It is 8am at the moment. In a couple of weeks, we'll turn the clock back an hour. This is going to be confusing!

Ciao Brenda, great to catch up with you.
Stella, we have had a relatively frenzied weekend, due to Preshus's birthday, and all that entails! Tomorrow she goes for her driver's license, so hopefully that will be the first step to my independence!

GMT/UTC/ZULU time are all the same thing. Use to be called GMT now called UTC and military people call it Zulu. it is time with reference to an imaginary line passing from the north poth through Greenwich (UK) to the south pole.

I do the same thing! SST - 2 and then change the am/pm.

okay Stella, that will make you 14 hours behind SST now, next week it will be 15 hours, the following week 17 hours. I think

UTC=Coordinated Universal Time. (but in French hence the change in order of the letters)

Tell her good luck and to relax! Here they go for the jugular if the tester smells fear! Although, the tester was extraordinarily nice to D#1 when she took her test. I think it was because she has a pretty smile and was sincere. Good luck!! (to you both!)

Thanks vdV! I was going to ask what UTC stood for but then I didn't want to look dumb. My brother would know though. He has his clocks set to it!

Does that mean the next week it will be SSST- Sudoku Summer Standard Time?

I think so Cous !!! hehe

Thanks mate, I appreciate it.
Her instructor tonight said she had it all down but she just had to be careful to remember all the little things, because that is what will be the decider. Up here, they really actually want the kids to get their license because we are fairly isolated and the kids need transport for work or further education etc because here, they stay home to go on to tertiary study. Oh joy! So in the testing, they just have to prove their concentration level, if you know what I mean. I'm not really explaining it very well! I'm a bit tired.

S#2 has another soccer game today. This is the last week of school soccer. He still has his travel team but we'll be down to one team, at least until basketball starts. Although, he doesn't think he'll make the school basketball team since they have a lot of 8th graders and he's short and skinny for a 7th grader.

Yes, I do believe that would be correct, vdV. Kinda has a ring to it, doesn't it?
SSST!

thanks for the chat.. need to go and spend time with Hubby.

Yes, I understand Gail. The tester knows the situation and is just looking for outrageous mistakes to fail. We have areas like that here as well. Some of the kids took the test up north instead of in my town for that very reason.

Bye Rolanda, have a good night!

SSST sounds like a disease! Or perhaps speaking in "parsaltongue."(sp?)

CYA later Rolanda. I'm not going to be too far behind you, I think. I feel like I go through the year just one birthday after another then Christmas then New Years then the cycle starts all over again!
Have a great day/night all.

Good night Gail! Sweet dreams!

Yes, all my kids have had their tests in various rural towns. In fact, I have travelled far and wide to get them to their tests!
I thought the same thing about the SSST, Stella. My tongue is getting tripped up while I type! Parsaltongue, good one . The word that came to my mind was sibilate, from when I used to do crosswords, pre-sudoku!
