Funky gibbon

A facebook posting from 8 July 2009 at 21:40

"Today Numberone son went on a school trip and bought himself a monkey alarm clock.

The alarm is a shrieking gibbon.

That'll be nice at 7am."

It wasn't.

But it provided me with a great way of getting him out of bed, by turning it on and walking out of the room.

And it had the added benefit of annoying Fester who gets up much later than me.
My usual rising time is 7 to get the boys off to school/college/day services.  

Fester emerges at about 9 when all has fallen still and silent again.

The clock has long since got to the metal recycling bin.
