I think, apart from my watch, it is only the wall clock in the kitchen and the little bedside clock in the bedroom that I use. It just fascinated me thinking about mum and dad with their one clock and the number of time pieces we have these days.<br />I meant to mention that dad was in charge of their clock. He would bring it from the bedroom to the kitchen when he got up and then wind it up at 9pm each evening when he went to bed. After farming for 17 years down south he still got up early even after he retired and went to bed early.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-64004108068400962272013-08-19T16:23:13.661+08:002013-08-19T16:23:13.661+08:00Clocks certainly can be fascinating.

The microwave is turned on only to use it, then turned off again and the DVD/TV clocks were never set. I have the time on my phone and computer, a bedside clock, a small clock on a shelf near the TV and a bigger kitchen clock on the wall. And my watch. That's it. I rarely look at any of them unless I'm planning on catching a bus.

It was beautifully carved with two rearing wooden horses on each side, and I loved to hear it ticking as it was quite loud.DeniseinVAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08494518513936310345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-34057788295387538052013-08-18T19:54:59.004+08:002013-08-18T19:54:59.004+08:00I started wandering around counting timepieces to ...I started wandering around counting timepieces to see how we stacked up with you...horrifying isn't it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
