You feeling that extra hour’s rest? I am. I had a full eight hours on my bed. Nice.

Anyway, I’m awake now and making final preparations for today’s THREE quizzes. I’ll be knackered at the end. There’s always coffee.

Great thing about the clocks changing is the automatic nature of it. My phone and computer know what to do. They do it all by themselves. In terms of the rest of the house, there’s a wee alarm-clock thing which sits on a shelf outside the bathroom. That’s got hands, so it’s really easy to change.

The only other thing is the time on the cooker which is actually far easier to change than electronic things usually are.

Is it just me? Or does anyone else hate when they boil down lots of functionality to a couple of buttons or one button and then you have to press these buttons IN A CERTAIN WAY to get what you want.

”Press and hold for 5 seconds” says the instruction manual. “Once in settings mode, each press of the button advances to a separate menu. PRess and hold again to access that menu”

I hope that when they die, the people who designed these systems have to go through a similarly-Byzantine series of press-and-hold to leave Purgatory and access Heaven. But with no instruction manual. That’ll learn ‘em.
