When is your birthday?

So I was born at about 6am, on a Thursday morning, almost 4 decades ago.

I was born during the months when daylight savings is in effect. The country I was born in was the UK. So I was born at about 6am BST, that is about 5am GMT.

I now live in a timezone commonly known as PST, or GMT -8. The practical upshot of this is that when it is 6am BST in the UK, it is 10pm PST of the day before. So, the actual day I was born, it was Wednesday here in California.

Now that I live in California, when is my birthday? Do I take the 24 hours BST from midnight to midnight? Do I take the day that my birth hour falls in? Do I take the calendar day when I was born, even though my birth hour falls outside that day?

Any comments gladly accepted.

Viva Las Vegas!


I was very pleased with the new Las Vegas in Legoland. My Lego Vegas pictures are now online!

There are some great buildings, especially the Venitian. The architecture we know so well from the movies set in Venice, all right there at our knees.

My other favourite was NYNY, probably because I love the Chrysler building. It has that wonderful Art Deco top, all curves and triangles.

Remember though, Legoland has usage policies for photos of the miniature, these are for sharing with my friends, and not for commercial usage.
