Daylight Spendings

Daylight savings has always seemed like a funny concept, bringing up the most British of small talk - anything starting with "this time tomorrow" and "this time last week". I enjoyed imagining where all the saved daylight was stored, and more importantly... how it got spent. 

I loved to think of it being bottled up annually in a jar. An hour's worth of beautiful light from October 2013, waiting to be released when needed, or to be shared on a warm summers evening, a sparkly release of glowing sunbeams. Like an extra strong home brew spontaneously uncorked with a twinkly smile.

I have pondered time quite a lot recently, how much we chase it, try to save it, catch it, spend it more wisely. But also how much we can become so entangled in the future or the past depending on experiences and emotions and that time is rarely felt as consistently as a clock would have you believe. Which led me to writing this.
