A Sad Loss
There comes a time in everyone's life when they lose something that is dear to their heart. During these times of struggle it's important to be strong.
I projected that my watch would last 3 maybe even 4 weeks. Unfortunately after a long flight from Perth and a fairly considerable climate change to the humidity of the tropics the Nice watch has flashed its last second and beeped its last beep. Actually as it was expiring it beeped quite alot and for a while was unstoppable.
It said water resistant to 30m. It should actually have said water resistant to 30mm as it failed very early on in its trip in to the darwin hostel swimming pool. Its final moments were spent as follows. The time changed from 4.30pm to 5.26am and the alarm, which wasn't set, went off and could not be stopped. In an event not disimilar to its life flashing before its eyes all the numbers and all of the days of the week came on simultaneously and then it was gone.
A moment's silence please for my 2 quid Nice Nike watch.
I told him so.
