Clocks go

A clock that forms the front wheel of a model bicycle shows the time as 8.40

Clocks go back. Not this one, though: it’s not going anywhere, in either direction, until it gets a new battery.

I always used to look forward to the day the clocks go back. I find dark mornings far more difficult than dark evenings. This year, it hadn’t registered in my consciousness in the same way, my schedule being so much less predictable. Ironically, I think it’s going to be helpful in a rather different way, moving all the day’s appointments an hour later while keeping breakfast and dressing the same. We weren’t even late to church this morning.
