Yes, I realised that after I'd gone home last night. I've had to be able to calculate that one correctly since my sister moved there (15 years or so ago), so I can't imagine why I would have got it wrong on this occasion... ;( My only, somewhat feeble, excuse is that it's +8.5 right now, and I must have failed to allow properly for the intervening DST change. She'd certainly be pissed off if I phoned her at 06:30 local instead of 07:30! Cheers!
