I'm trying to schedule a task, which is a habit, for every other day at
0900, like this -

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
** TODO put slow cooker on for tea
SCHEDULED: <2015-10-28 Wed 09:00 .+2>
:PROPERTIES:
:LAST_REPEAT: [2015-09-09 Wed 07:17]
:END:
:LOGBOOK:  
:STYLE: habit
:REPEAT_TO_STATE: TODO
:END:
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

But it is consistently failing, and refusing to update for the next
required day.

I can get it working if I omit the time, but I'd rather have it working
with the time as well.

So where am I going wrong then please?

Thanks
Sharon.

The simple answer I've found, for the benefit of the archives, is to just
leave out the "." in front of +2d, and it then works as expected.

Thanks
Sharon.
