Radio-controlled clocks aligned to Frankfurt only realign the day after the clocks change.
Those aligned to BRITAIN change at the correct time.

My stupid watch is supposed to change gear automagically at the start of BST and hasn't.  I have had to tell the wretched thing that I'm in Paris :(
My radio alarm clock magically changes to BST. Unfortunately it uses DAB to do so, with the resulting hilarity of the alarm firing an hour late, quickly followed by the time changing and the clock deciding I've had an hour to wake up and switching off again.

I've just noticed that the date (analog) on my watch was showing 7th.  That means I've not looked at it to see what the date is for the whole of March.

The bottle of tonic that was in the fridge had a loose cap and was flat. We therefore have warm tonic in our G&T.
Also, there's slim line tonic in the cupboard, how on earth did that get there?

Chr!$t! That's two really serious things which appear to have gone awry in short succession.
We need to switch off the internet until both are sorted. FFS.

Bottles of tonic are wrong unless you plan to use the entire bottle. Those little cans are perfect and guarantee the correct level of effervescence in your G&T.

I don't need an Apple watch but I do need a new iPhone. The thought of wrangling an updated sim out of EE puts me off. It's bound to go wrong. Plus I might have to start paying for the mobile internets again.

The other Helen has a bigger chocolate and pudding mountain and is trying to lose weight.

At current rates of consumption the next Solstice will pass and another great niece/nephew will emerge before this mountain is consumed.

We have STILL not cleared the Christmas chocolate mountain but it's only the week after Easter.
There's now another niece/nephew in the making...

My cow-worker with the gold card isn't travelling (because: sore bum <titter>).
So I am in the normal lounge, drinking flat wine, instead of being in the first class lounge drinking champagne. Bah.

I examined the Apple Watch in some detail at the Pasadena Apple Store on Friday. It's pretty. It's quite big. It doesn't do very much. I own a Garmin Vivoactive. Not as pretty, but the screen is on all the time and the charge lasts about 3 weeks. It has GPS onboard (the Apple Watch uses your phone's GPS). It can have all sorts of apps on it, though the selection available right now isn't very inspiring. And it's £175 at Wiggle.

If you need 'pretty', there are several Google Wear/Android varieties that make the cut at $300 or less.

The dog has lost her "good" frisbee. Fortunately she still has her less good, chewed one.
