The green hell

In a damned strange mood tonight . The trees have half come out green but only because the leaves cant stay in any longer , not because of any warm weather , in fact a wintery cold  , wet week is forecast ahead . So they are out by proxy . The mist is down on the hill tops but the hills are green . This is the type of weather when the rain seems wetter than usual if that makes any sense . Its coming in dark early and the atmosphere of winter is still in the air . A screeching T.V talent program is on the television .

Tick tock mind games ?

 Today I  heard that when clock manufactures show a picture  of a clock in an advert  they put the clock hands to show 10:10 . This is apparently for two reasons .  Firstly the use of two number tens is a nice round mentaly pleasing , none threatening number that appeals to the masses .  Secondly the hands when set  at 10:10 don't obscure the brand logo on the clock face !
  And guess what ? On buying a new clock today the hands WERE set at 10:10 before I added the battery , so I guess its true . Keep an eye out for it in the future then ....well I found that interesting !
