Query timing of sub clause

I can’t quite understand why the subordinate clause here is in the present when the main sentence is past.  Nous avons passé une bonne journée ________d'avis. I wrote “sans que je n’aie changé” but the correct answer was in the present “sans que je ne change”…..

(We had a nice day without my changing my mind).
