todayiamadaisyMy alarm clock died a couple of weeks ago. The battery sort of fused itself to the clock and neither could be resuscitated. Hence, I have been on the market for a new alarm clock.
I remember buying the old alarm clock. I had decided that my clock radio was too bright, so I wanted an analogue clock. Do you know what I did? I went into a shop and I bought the first alarm clock I saw. So simple! And it was such a good little clock. It was an 11cm cube, so not too big or too small, with big numbers for ease of looking at during the night, a little button that lit up the face when pressed, and a silent sweep (no ticking). I mean, my needs are modest.
This time round... well, the jewellery shop I bought the last one from has closed down. I tried another jeweller, but they no longer stock clocks. Another jeweller only had one tiny model. She suggested the gift shop across the road. They had several models, one that was too big, one that was too small, one that ticked. What a Goldilocks I am.
I've been using my folding travel alarm clock in the meantime (which I have because I also find hotel room clock radios too bright). It's good for short stays, but it's also too small and it ticks, so I can't put up with it for too long. Happily, last week I found Australia's largest online clock purveyor, and today I took delivery of my new alarm clock. I'm so looking forward to a tick-free sleep tonight.
