Relief as daylight saving comes to an end
Too much evening sun is not fun.
Photo: Glenn CampbellIf I may, Judy Hungerford, those of us who live in the real world, Australia's regional and rural areas, ''the bush'', are delighted to see the end of ''Daylight Wasting Time'' (Letters, April 2). Now we can arise at first light, but fit in another hour's work before coming in to see the ABC TV News at 7pm (previously in bright daylight). Our children can travel home from their schools not in the heat of the afternoon, but at a reasonable time, etc, etc.

At last! Daylight saving is over and the rising sun is synchronous to my body clock. Now we can enjoy lovely sunlit mornings until the dreaded October 7. [Editor's note: not October 1 as stated on Monday].

As a 5am wake-upper, the end of daylight saving is the best day of the year.

Space station misses
That’s a shame – I’d been hoping the space station would land on Rose Bay marina so that we could go back to swing moorings again (''China says space station re-enters atmosphere over South Pacific'', smh.com.au, April 2)

Good, clean entertainment?
Why on earth did Tim Biggs sneak a review of a vacuum cleaner into The Guide (“Dyson enters a powerful new era”, April 2)? House cleaning is definitely not listed on our household’s entertainment or recreation agendas, but perhaps it’s on Tim’s.
