Clocks change

[jack]

I thought for a second the clocks had changed and I hadn't noticed, all the electronic clocks had just updated automatically and I'd gone to work on time without even noticing. But no, it's next weekend.

A lifetime ambition of mine is to get to a point where I have no clocks at all that need a manual update, so that that at least could happen to me without some stubborn holdout clock showing a blatantly wrong time and reminding me of what had happened.

I'm now very close (albeit with some cheating, like leaving the microwave showing −:−− on purpose), but the clock in my car is the one remaining obstacle.

My car battery went flat at some point, and I've never got round to figuring out the code to reset my radio since. So it shows a time, about 1:35 off from reality in one season, and one hour less (or more?) the other. So I've fixed that in the worst way possible :)

At one point I put a bit of tape over the oven clock, on the grounds that I didn't want to use it, but not setting it confused or annoyed other people who saw it.

Oh - I thought it had already happened!

Months ago, in fact.

I was thinking of the autumn change, wasn't I.
