Radio controlled alarm clock, Central European Time and snow!
This morning, for the first time since we’re living in London, my radio controlled alarm clock has decided that was time to catch the radio signal. Normally I would have been happy to have the clock with the correct time, unfortunately the model I own is the one I have been given in Italy…
I don’t know if the settings were not correct or if that specific model is able to connect only to the central european signal in Germany, the fact is that this morning I felt really tired when I woke up.
London was (and remains) under a good snowing, and the strange silence you can experience when the world became white covered, was quite unfamiliar. I didn’t noticed that my mobile phone didn’t ring with its own alarm. Only few minutes later, when Fabiana noted that it was quite dark outside, I realized what happened: it was 7:15 indeed, but linked on the CET, not the GMT! So, once dressed and ready to drink the coffee, it would have been useless to return to sleep for thirty minutes or so. It has been a good thing, however, mainly because the snow has caused a lot of delays on the railways and the tube, so being in the station a quarter of hour earlier than usual has been a ticket to get into central London on time.
So… Winter is here, again, and the weather forcast for today are for 10-15 centimeters of snow in a lot of areas near London. :D
Have a nice, snowy day!Â
