Clocks

[poliphilo]

Clocks accumulate. 

There are three in this room- two of which actually work- and that's not counting the digital display on the set-top box.

There's one in the hall, one in the front room, one in the kitchen, two in our bedroom, three in the spare room, one in the bathroom and I'm not answerable for Joe's stash.

I've just been round the house, counting. 

Some we bought, some were gifts, some were given away free with orders over £50. 

The only one that's the least bit valuable is the only one that doesn't work. 

I like clocks. 

They've got faces, they make a noise. It's almost like they're people.

I have one wall clock that is always 5 minutes fast no matter how often I set it back. So we leave it and that´s our "safety" clock so we aren´t late going anywhere. Our valuable clock doesn´t work either. I had to go around and count the clocks we have after reading this...we have 10 and only half are actully working. Some just need new batteries, though.

A clock that's set five minutes ahead is a good idea. Ours all hover around the correct time and- because there are so many of them- I can never remember which are fast and which are slow and regularly miss the opening minutes of my favourite TV shows.
