Clocks and Mirrors.

For no real reason, I have just walked round our bungalow counting how many clocks and mirrors we have.

14 of each.

I like to see plenty of them surrounding me for some obscure reason.

DH thinks we have too many, but I like to hear a ticking clock, not that they all tick, and mirrors reflect light.

5 mirrors - one on the wall in the downstairs loo, one on the windowsill in the bathroom, one that's meant to be on the wall in the bathroom but it's one that gets moved around when needed for hair do-ing etc, one large one propped against a wall in my room that's meant to have been hung on the dining room wall, and one on a stand that opens up to reveal a jewellery box.

Clocks - one. A ticking clock that I bought for my housemate a few years ago, it might be slate and has an etching of a dragon on it.

Otherwise, we each have a tablet and a phone, so we don't need clocks.
Oh, he got me a smart watch at Christmas. I'm allergic to the metal on it. Lol

I have a grandmother clock that was my Granny's then my parents and is now in our hall.
