What do you do that's just not logical?

grannypiper Mon 22-May-17 20:15:17 That's lovely and I totally identify with that. In the US I lived on the harbour. Whenever a big tanker went out, the lead tug captain always shined his light on our cottage as there were no onshore navigation beacons. It always woke me up in the wee hours, but it was a comforting awakening. The tugs also tooted signals to each other and I could lay there and know exactly where the 'flotilla' of tugs and tanker were in the channel.

THEN, I could go back to sleep. Thanks for tickling my own memory!

My alarm clock is always 5 minutes fast, as well - but I usually tap my head on the pillow the number of the hour I wish to wake, and it works every time then I turn the alarm off before it rings. I also write on my forehead if I have something important to remember, that works too. Just don't always remember to do it!!

Years ago, when I was working, our smoke alarm went off in the middle of the night. According to my husband I said What was that? He replied that it was the fire alarm to which I reportedly said, Thank goodness, I thought it was the alarm clock. For months he kept muttering I don't believe you said that!
But then he was never a teacher, they need all the sleep they can get!

Your welcome Lewlew, living beside the sea is so special.

According to my husband very little I do is logical. Definitely need the clocks 5 minutes fast at least.

Exist!

I used to set my watch and classroom clock 5 mins fast, as I always got carried away with the lesson and forget the time.
However, when I first started teaching, I took my Primary 1 children to lunch 30 mins early. It was only when I reached the dinner hall, which was completely empty, that I realised there was something amiss with my watch. It certainly did not make a good impression with the headteacher, who happened to be passing by.

I always used to keep my watch & clocks a few minutes fast, since I've retired I don't bother. I'm never late for appointments as I allow too much time in case of hold ups.

I can't go to sleep without reading a book even if it's only a page, doesn't matter how tired I am. I also have to have the radio on, can't sleep in silence

We do all sorts of crazy things! son has just spent a few days with us and reckons we should be on the tele!

Pretty much everything!!
