February 12, 2009

Over-night we had a terrible wind storm. Our power went out and it made for an interesting night. This morning we did have power back and, as I went about re-setting clocks in the house, it made me think of just how many clocks we do have. So, here's a sampling of some of our clocks:







The kitchen stove was telling us something the very
first thing


Coffee timer needs re-setting, we'll do that later and make coffee
now.


Regulator in our kitchen. It's a thirty day clock that chimes.
This is a thirty day chimer, too. It sits on the mantle.


Just a cute little clock (nothing special, just cute) that sits in the rear entrance hall.
This cuckoo clock drives me absolutely crazy keeping
it regulated. It is soooo tempermental.
Speaking of clocks, the programmable
thermostat has one.
And, how many of us use our trusty cell to
tell us the correct time?
I've shown this one before. It was my parents' and
I'll probably show it again sometime. We wind it every
eight days and it keeps perfect time.
The regulator in the den. This one is easy, we replace
the batteries about every twelve months.
Our screen-saver clock.
And, finally, doesn't everyone have a clock in the
bathroom?That's All, Folks!!!!!

I just stopped to think, and I have one clock - my alarm clock radio. I obviously have my laptop (and a second one), a mobile phone and a Blackberry, but those wouldn't be affected by a power cut. I also have a clock on my iPod, thinking about it. I'm not sure I've ever seen a clock in a bathroom, but as long as it wouldn't be damaged by steam, it makes sense! Then you can see if you're running early/on time/late, when brushing your teeth or putting on make up (I have an ensuite and bedroom, so I have to always come back into the bedroom to look at my alarm clock). Wonder now why more people don't do that, keep a clock in the bathroom! Lucky the power cut wasn't longer or causing damage though!

OH the fun of southern weather in early spring ... the problem I always have is that I never know what time it is to begin with, so I've been known to go hours without realizing that the clocks have been reset ... Yeesh!

Nice 12!
