Quiet time

I bought a new alarm clock because I'll need to be getting up really bloody early in the next few weeks. Unfortunately most alarm clocks seem to tick INCREDIBLY LOUDLY. This is an issue when they're supposed to go on your bedside table. While you sleep.

This one is absolutely silent, and I am rather impressed. It is made from the cheapest materials imaginable and I expect it to explode into tiny components if I drop it more than 2cm, but it genuinely is as quiet as the description suggested.

In the background, the battle against Giant Chicken rages on.
