Here Comes Summer

Well, here comes British Summer Time anyway. I don’t the think the weather is yet of a quality to deserve the epithet “summer”.
This is the weekend when we “lose” an hour until autumn, by the simple expedient of turning all the clocks forward by that amount of time. We gain lighter evenings and the sun (when it eventually appears) won’t wake us up quite so early in the morning.
In the pre digital era, every time piece in the house (and car!) had to be manually adjusted - even the electric ones. Nowadays, most of our daily devices - phone, tv, computer, car, etc - receive a signal from a satellite at the appropriate time and update to BST automatically.
But there will always be a few which need manual adjustment and I decided to save a bit of time tomorrow by adjusting some of them tonight. The alarm clock won’t be needed until tomorrow morning, the little decorative clocks in the study won’t be looked at again today, nor will the ones in the garage (the motorbike can wait until it comes out of hibernation next weekend) so they have all been adjusted in anticipation.
As have these two watches (one of them, anyway, when I took the photo!). I’d always lusted after a nice watch when I was younger and bought my first - a Heuer Monaco - when I was made redundant just over twenty years ago. Since then, a bit of horse trading and a bequest from my late uncle means I am in the fortunate position of owning three quality watches. Obviously I can only wear one at a time, so the two not in use live in this turner which rotates them on a regular basis to keep the automatic mechanism fully wound, thus ensuring that whichever one I choose, it should be showing the correct time.
Should only be a couple of clocks to adjust tomorrow morning, plus the cooker and microwave. I particularly hate doing the latter because I can never remember the sequence of buttons you have to press to get the clock to change! The display is that dim anyway, I’m seriously tempted just to leave it - it’ll be right again at the end of October...
