Hate to say it but I haven’t owned a single clock that has required manual changing for about 15 years now. Every device I use for time keeping is digital.

Saying that, I think the last time the clocks changed my PC strangely didn’t so I did have to do that myself that one time.

One of my many sins is that I'm a bit of a watch collector. Whilst my everyday one is a smartwatch that sorts itself out, the other 14 are not, so that was this morning's job. At least March has 31 days so a similar procedure won't be necessary as it is on 'odd' months.

Randomly, my smart watch that is connected to my phone, decided not to update the time, whilst my phone did, so I had no clue what time it was when I got up.

I should of got in the car, I didn't change it last time, so it'll be right now! :D

I'm in a mixed zone. Most clocks are radio controlled so adjust themselves, but I do like an old fashioned analogue clock by the radios for old times sake.
Ship's clock on GMT and other clock on current time (whatever that may be .... :embarrass:)

Analogue clocks do have their charm! I'm not militantly pro-digital or anything, that's just the way the cookie crumbled for me.

To be fair the only reason I even wear a watch at all is because I had to think of a Christmas present to ask for, last year.

Tree has come down in Bednall taking loads of power lines down with it.
Looks like we will have no power for a while tonight.

Oven and microwave here, everything else handles itself fine

Just realised that the Windows 10 heap of junk didn't update, 7, Mint & MacOS did.

Mine updated OK. Might need to check Date & Time settings. In particular ensure 'Set the time zone automatically' to Off, select the time zone manually and ensure 'Adjust for daylight saving time automatically' is not greyed out and the switch is On.

I never use the actual time on my oven , just the timer for so many minutes countdown each time.
Decided to check what time it actually says.... At 10.15pm it read 9.47 so not even just an hour out. Obviously been changed when I've been stabbing away at the buttons trying to + or - the countdown timer.
After 10+ years , really do need to get the manual out to see how to work the clock and automatic timer function properly !

(People staying in self catering accommodation after us must be thrown out after we've messed with the oven / microwave clocks whilst trying to work the new fangled things)

Just had an update. Most of the village back on but not our road. Estimated 3.00am.

Trying to read a book by torch light but might just have an early night now

Trying to avoid social media in case I come across a Line of Duty spoiler.

We stayed up late last night watching all the episodes of the last lot of Line of Duty we'd recorded . I dozed off 5 minutes or so before the end of the last one :roll:. He's had to give me the gist of how it ended as he'd deleted it all off as soon as the last one finished.

Hope you get your power back on soon @Carole
