A loud ringing by my right ear and I wake with a start. This does not sound like my alarm going off. What can it be? Ah, my mobile. Yes, press any button to answer works, thank goodness. A blearly eyed "Hello?" "Hello, is that Miss Smudgie? This is...." "Ah, no! No" It's the optician, isn't it? You're ringing to tell me I should be there. What time is it? AGH! It's ten past ten. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." "Don't panic, you're only 50% right. It is the optician. I'm ringing to tell you the delivery has arrived and your glasses aren't in there, so you don't need to come. They should be here tomorrow, so you can go back to sleep" I must learn, when I set the timer on my mobile so that I can have an extra hour in bed, there's a final button you have to press in order to start the timer running. Otherwise time simply doesn't pass and, phonecalls permitting, you could sleep for eternity.
