Well, it's that time of year again. The time when we have to move the clocks back (or forward!). The time when you settle down, determined to make sure that there will be no missed clocks this year. Ho, bloody ho!
The obvious ones are in the front room, one on the wall, one on the mantle shelf ... oh yes and the wristwatch. The television is on Telewest cable and they take care of that. How smug can you be when you remind youself that the computer looks after itself?
Out to the kitchen, alter the wall clock ... that should take care of that.
Upstairs, it's into the bathroom and slot the little clock in there back an hour.
...
Five down, many to go. But where are they? Ah! bedside table radio alarm (seldom used but it is illuminated and very useful) (SIX). My alarm, again seldom used. (SEVEN). One small travel clock in the back bedroom. (EIGHT). Then into the small room where there is a large boardroom clock (NINE), and a small clock on the bookcase (TEN). Think, think ... I know the two cameras have clocks in them but I'll do them later when I need to reset them. (Twelve!).
...
All done! Twelve bloody clocks ready to put forward in six months time. But NO!!! I nearly forgot. Mobile phone and answer phone (Phew nearly missed them ... FOURTEEN). My wife has done her wristwatch ... Soooo
Yes, YES all done.
...
...
Sunday morning ... my wife from the kitchen calls "Did you remember the central heating timer?"
B*ll*cks I thought, there's always one and the strange thing is it's always a different one.
...
Roll on March!!!

Nicely done, there is always one clock that gets missed. If you have a car did you remember to change the time in there? ;o)
I like your blogs, I came to you from my friend Daniel Tammet's blog where I've seen you've made a comment - I designed his website and set up his blog which is vastly more popular than my own humble offering could ever be!
Thank you sir, you are too kind!
