Had a small clean up this weekend, tossed some rubbish that’d been building up in my office, got rid of an old and much loved pair of runners the dog decided to chew to pieces.
And, I finally had to admit my terribly old and disgracefully cheap wall clock was dead. It’d been losing time for months. Five minutes a day. Ten minutes an hour. Then it just gave up.
It’s weird how attached you can get to a simple object, but I guess I must’ve looked at that clock tens of thousands of times over the years, even though there are probably dozens of time keepers scattered all over the house.
Yeah. We have a very similar clock in the kitchen from IKEA. It eats batteries and loses time, too. But it looks RIGHT in its spot, so there it remains, high on the wall.
It's sad when you have to say goodbye to things that have become part of the fabric of your life, even if they've not successfully served their purpose for some time like your clock. On the bright side, there's an opportunity to replace it with a new and shiny piece of life fabric...

We had one of those clocks on the loungeroom wall until it died. Then we got another....years later it too died. We are up to Cheap Clock No.3.
Wear it like Flav. Yeah boyeeeeee...

At least it will be right twice a day now ...
