Tick tock

I love it but I hate it and sometimes it just drives me crazy, totally around the bend yet other times it is so relaxing and inviting, taking away the stress of the day what is it? well let me tell you, it is my neighbour and why?
My neighbour has some really amazing mantel clocks but every 15 minutes I hear all her clocks ding dong, tweet and goodness knows what else.
I also have a clock the chimes on the hour and it is really lovely to hear and so are my neighbours clocks but not 20 or 30 at once, isn't one enough? I guess it is all personal taste and I have nothing against her having all the clocks, truthfully I like them and if I did not hear them all chime I would get worried.
I know I could not live without a clock or a watch, for example last week I forgot my watch and it was habbit to look at my wrist all the time, I think it was more annoying and frustrating then anything. When I moved the furniture around in the house it was the same, I moved the sofa and the clock on the wall and still now I look at the old place where the clock was hanging, everything new takes time to get use to right?
