Upstairs clocks will be done shortly and watches as and when I wear them.

Guy I must say how evocative your description of correcting the time on your 17th century Long case is, will you be settling down to tea and toast and a read of the Sunday press whilst the hour passes? I should imagine that the house will sound completely different for that hour too? :wave:
Nearly correct. :thumbup:

Clock stopped @ 09:10 - displayed; 08:10 GMT.

Sat in my 'dining room' for breakfast, clock adjacent to the table, with Tea & toast/ryvita, marmalade and marmite. An eerie silence pervading i.e. no. tick / tock / light squeak (needs a drop of oil somewhere in the movement). 8)

Except the radio in the kitchen was on, 5Live, and the washing machine in the utility room was on 'spin', so I probably wouldn't have been able to hear the clock anyway. :problem: No Sunday paper; just my smartphone to catch up on Forum and F1 news. :)

Clock wound and restart an hour later 09:10 GMT. Normality restored. :clap:

Sounds like a perfectly lovely morning!

But a utility room and marmalade... Guy, how extravagant!

Ferg,

I must admit I didn't enjoy night shifts when the clocks went back - it was always confusing to sort out which 1:30 you were talking about (first or the second one).

Hopefully recovered from the extra hour of unpaid overtime.

Thank you Paul ;)
It was very strange seeing 02:00 twice as such and made for a very long shift.
The joys of working night shifts.
There are plus points for doing them however so it balances out.
