Woooooo! <rattle of chains>

The clock on the mantlepiece has been silent for the last ten or so years
and has just struck 13.

This isn't a good thing, is it?

 

My grandfather clock used to do that occasionally. It's nothing to worry
about.

 

No - it's done it a week too early!

 

"There here"?

Surely it's "They're here".

 

Proly... NO...

 

Only slightly further off than your system clock then.

Almost as spooky -- the kitchen clock's flattery has gone bat
enough that it won't tick over, just before the clocks go back. So at
least I can replace the battery and reset it in one go this time.
