Hmmm. This morning I looked at my watch and discovered that it was reading a completely random time of day. It's also lost its ability to sync with the MSF radio signal from Rugby, and for good measure it's forgotten its settings too (particularly the vital ‘don't go beep all the time’).

Now those could all be consequences of a low battery, possibly with a side order of MSF being harder to hear in Dorset (where I'm currently visiting Dad) than it is in Cambridge.

But on this day of all days, perhaps there's an alternative explanation. Time really has come to an end, and that's why my watch isn't telling it any more!
