Back to gloomy weather again, not much else to say about that. I’m on my way to the hospital for a few tests. Honestly, the parking situation there is such a pain. There are only a few spots available, which makes everything more stressful. I usually end up driving in circles, trying to find a place to park, all while hoping I won’t be late for my tests. The thought of missing my appointment because of parking just makes me more anxious, making this day drag on even longer than it already feels.
Today, I wanted to share something not so relevant with you, for the How to Survive the November theme. But at the moment, time is on my mind. So, check this out: I have this vintage Rostov alarm clock from the USSR that my son discovered years ago in an old, abandoned house. It has such a classic design that really emphasizes both timelessness and functionality. The funny thing is, it hasn’t worked a day since we found it, and I can’t quite remember why we’ve held onto it for so long. I guess it’s just one of those quirky reminders of an era gone by. These days, it seems like no one really uses clocks like these anymore; we all rely on our phones to wake us up. It’s funny how quickly things change over time!
November begins, and we’ll keep this year rolling forward. The theme is ’round’, and you can interpret it any way you like. It can be a photograph, a painting, a drawing, a new or old picture, anything. Hopefully, it has ‘that certain something’.

I love that clock. I’ve been hunting around for one. That is so mid-century. I remember those sort of hands on a clock in the family home many years ago
Ihana kello! Minullakin on pari kelloa, jotka eivät toimi, mutta ovat vaan niin kauniita.
Nykyään nuoret eivät osaa enää lukea analogisia kelloja, ainoastaan digitaalisia!
Ah, nostalgia!
I wake with my body clock, unless I have a very early airport run- I’m a naturally early riser irrespective of the privilege of being retired. We do have a kitchen clock that used to be my son’s and I’m very fond of it. I hope the test results were good xx
I hope you found parking and was not late for your tests. Hope all went well.
Nice clock. I love the large numbers which make it so easy to read. Good choice for ’round’ for the month.
Dear Ritva, this is amazing, I think we all had this clock, I have one of them too. But stopped. Thank you, Love, nia
Tuossa taitaa olla pätevä herätysääni! Nykyajan vehkeet ei herätä mua… .(
Olisi jos toimisi 😀
