Yes, repeated events are not supported in the code. Probably trivial to
add but I'm swamped with a new academic term which started last week so
it'll be a while before I get to this. I'll add it to my (ever growing)
TODO list in any case. Thanks for a clear example.

I'm not sure I tested all day events (I don't tend to use them,
preferring to say 9am-5pm, say) but I can see the usefulness of
these. I'll add this to my TODO list as well!
Thanks for the feedback!
