Bloody power interruptions: “Beep” goes the clock radio, followed closely by “bleep” from the bedside phone wanting its time and date settings checked, then “beep, rumble rumble” from the printer rebooting, then whatever is on the TV, as it and the digibox turn on. And of course the cooker and microwave need their clocks resetting. And the shonkily refurbished iPod my wife’s using (she listens to audiobooks all night, every night) loses its WiFi connection. Sigh. All at 2am of course.
