Three things to report:

Firstly, I have managed to figure out the manual for the clock, and am trying to see if the alarm will waken me so that I would need only one alarm clock on the go at a time. The only thing that I still haven't sussed is how to keep the time projection on all the time (I know it is a feature, but haven't managed it yet.) Without that, I have to reach over and press the snooze button, so no big deal!.

Secondly, I had a telephone call from nephew to say that his wife and the baby are both home and doing well. I also had an email with photos attached of baby, mother and baby, father and baby, sister and baby (looking so proud) and one of baby with a HUGE yawn.

Awww, cute.

Thirdly, TBSITW brought me a bag of baby beetroot from her garden. Some were like the usual beetroot, but some were white - I have never heard of this before. Anyway, I made a salad for this evening's meal as I am going to the bridge club later, and both the types of beetroot were delicious.

Alarums and Excursions

TBSITW left a comment on my last post and I felt the reply just about warranted a further post.

Yes, I did get back to sleep again, but it was still rather a short night.

I think part of the problem is that my last (and excellent, radio-controlled) alarm clock showed the 24 hour clock. Trouble is, I reached the stage where I couldn't hear the alarm and had to give it away.

This one is VERY, VERY loud (great), but I still sometimes don't realise whether it is morning or evening when I wake up, especially if I wake up suddenly. This is not helped by the fact that my bedroom window overlooks the (private) car park and this is lit at night, so that the light coming through the curtains is much the same in daylight or not.
