With a diet pepsi

Well you've got to look after your swimsuit figure.

Sounds like a healthy diet to me.

I don't feel so healthy now, got to go back to work too, could just do with a nap

Has this helped to drag the thread back into mundaneism

Of the next time it needs winding up out moving...

My step father had just got the old grandfather clock working correctly after it was moved to their home following the death of my grandfather. It had been in place for 20 years of so. Luckily he saw fit to fight with it on GMT rather than BST... whilst it adapted to the change in humidity, central heating and all of those issues related to old wooden grandfather clocks... In fact moving my grandfather would have been easier

I put my grandfathers wall clock up on the wall quite while ago. It survived the blitz in Bermondsey and my handling, though for a while it was stuffed behind a settee in my parents house. It keeps reasonable time, tho I set it 2 minutes fast. Unlike some, I enjoy the chimes.

Quarter hour?

Half hour. For the god knows how many years it took for the chime spring to wind out, I had a bit of bluetac stuck to the chime coil to give it a blunt 'donk' rather than its intended ringinginging chime. I quite liked the comical blunt donk, but six to twelve in a row was getting beyond a joke*

*'getting beyond a joke'... I think i've turned in to my mother

If there is a nut on the bottom of the pendulum then you can adjust it, if it runs slow screw the nut up this shortens the swing and speeds up the clock and obviously the reverse if it runs too fast.
It is a slight adjustment that you need to do though so only move it a bit.

My cat is snoring in her basket under the radiator in the kitchen. I can hear it from the lounge.

This one has survived lots as well including my grandfather's father who after losing the 'debate' upon injecting it, had to dig a hole in the earth floor of their sitting room to fit the clock into the house. Upon finding it still would not fit, my grandfather actually remembered his father 'removing' the decorative wooden hand carved top and burning it on the open fire in a fit of anger!

Leaves swept, and garden furniture cleaned and stored away for another year.
Oops....sorry, I thought it was the garden thread!
