Am I losing my marbles?

It's "scientists" who "believe" it'll swallow the Earth. Scientists actually think there won't be a problem. But I, too, find it very interesting that the end of the world could be so near and start in SWITZERLAND of all places. I mean: We're sweet, aren't we. (I'm Swiss.)

I love this app! I've got bonging set to go off each 5 min interval then bong the hour as per the time .... I'm waiting for my partner to come into the room to investigate where the bonging is coming from but she hasn't heard it yet.

We have a smallish mantle-clock of which it's bonging mechanism has become unreliable so I'm loving this ....

Thanks Rhisiart again for this gem.
