Well, no. Actually they said a decision won't be made for the next few years. Which is excellent, because I have no idea what the problem is.

I didn't say it was going to happen now, but the fact that it happens in general is a good thing. I still don't know what's the actual benefit from switching the clock 1 hour ahead or behind twice a year. And the decision will be unique to each nation. EU member countries can decide, if they want to use summertime or wintertime. a slight majority of finns wants wintertime.

That's the thing: it's not a fact, the decision won't be made for the next few years.

Nowadays it's just cool to complain about everything. Just like it's super cool to feel offended 24/7.

I would feel terribly offended by summerphiles dictating my time.

After years of failed attempts (because I started too enthousiastic and then got injured within a week or 2-3 and waited a year to try again) I finally managed to run 5km today without starting to walk  

 

In all those years that was my first goal, and to do so within 30:00 minutes....finally I ran 5km and I even did so in 27:55

 

On to 10km!

I'm sure she's skied further (and ran further)  But that's alright, recently we set a goal to run a marathon together before the 2022 Olympics
