I've been waking up at silly o'clock for me for a while now so this is welcome. I wonder how long it will be till I'm waking up at silly o'clock again. I've fallen into a pattern of late of only sleeping about six hours at night and dropping off in the day. It's the second comfort call that does for me. I'll start thinking about something or other instead of just dropping off again immediately as I used to.

I've got a 'thing' about clocks   :grin:   This is just my kitchen wall, so I'll have to start soon.

for some reason I can't copy a photo

Five in here altogether, then there's the cooker, microwave, boiler then sitting room and bedroom clocks 😁😁😁
One good thing at least the clock in my car will be correct now

I'll sort them out tomorrow. Maybe. 

The ones I use to actually tell the time all sort themselves out anyway. Only manual one I'll do in a moment is the central heating thermostat. Now I come to think of it I set that to night which is way low at about 10 (still a bit high for Phil I think) before I went out this morning as I was out most of the day and haven't set it back to working. Maybe I'll declare summer and just leave it set to night for now.

Did everyone remember  ?   :grin:   I'm usually good at reminding other people and often forget my own, but this time I changed them all.

Mine are all done now. It turned out not to be spring enough to leave the heating off. Back on again now on timed.

I still can't work it out how to do my cooker digital clock..
I press a few buttons .. usually a timer goes off..
I wait for someone/anyone who happens to notice that the clock on the cooker needs setting..
I never touch the one in the car.. I think it is right at the moment..

Best to leave the cooker clock alone if it's anything like the one here. Fiddle with that and you may end up with a delayed start of several hours. Most electric clock/timers are intuitive but not cooker ones for some reason.

Some car clocks set themselves from the radio. My previous one didn't and I don't know if the current one does or not. Sometimes by the time I noticed the old one was wrong it only had a couple of months before it needed doing again so I left it.

Don't know about cooker clocks as I don't have one but my cars hand book gives clear instructions on how to change it..This is the 6th time I've have to change this cars clock and I never remember. As usual I had to check the book and it only took about 30 seconds.
