Hi Roser,
You forget that some of us live in the southern hemisphere.

I wish you all a happy winter solstice ( in that we agree, don't we?)
full of sunshine for our minds, bodies and sundials.

Dear John,
I like your story about the times quoted
by the Darwin control tower.
In some of my introductory talks about
sundials I mention Unequal Hours, Babylonian
Hours, Italian Hours and so on.
Just when the audience thinks this is offering
more choice than they can cope with, I explain
that things are little better when you use
clock time.
Your story illustrates this nicely AND also
illustrates the use of different levels of
precision.
I may plagiarise this next time I give
such a talk!
All the best
Frank
