I remember as a child forever waiting for my birthday, for Christmas, for the school holidays, they seemed to take so long to eventuate. Temporal perception of time.
Now, especially birthdays, it takes no time at all! I suspect awareness of mortality has something to do with this. Memory and time.
Perhaps because of time v mortality (getting old) I never noticed the choice between 'latest' and 'oldest' on the Herald blog of that trial, which I have been following because I was summoned as a crown witness and only at the last minute after 5 months of angst was not required (thanks to the timing surrounding my statement). Psychological experience of time!
Thanks for pointing out the Herald's weird reporting tactics, I will be definitely be avoiding frustration and going to oldest first. And thanking God I am not part of the blog!
Thank you for the reflections on time.
