I can relate to Jos's post on 12 Aug re "My Grandfather's Clock".
In 2014 when my late Beloved was being cremated, the clock above the back door at our house was stopped at the exact time of his passing.
Then a few years ago, the clock in our office (where I spend much of my time, on the 'puter), did the same thing.
My Beloved was, amongst other skills, a watch-and-clock maker!!
