.that's IT..I'm claiming this post back...
...
I woke this morning in BAAAAD mood >:(
Our young neighbour decided to some DIY at 1.30 last night..drilling, sawing, hammering...

..and now the house is quiet..all in sleep and propably stay like it until mid-day.. ::)..but even the weather is calm..I can 'feel' freak gust of wind coming on that may bang the gates shut...loud..

I'm not going to be only one waking up with "one foot wrong side of the bed".. ;)
..ahh..I feel almost better already.. ;D

At least you don't live by the Cathedral bells...........and the quarter going off 24/7 :-X

At least you don't live by the Cathedral bellsOh I think I would take that..I'm good with sleeping through loud noises..usually..particularly noises that are expected or you hear all the time (used to be city girl)..and I do have clock in livingroom doing 'gong' noises but I'm so use to it so I don't really hear it.
Our street is quiet one..so unexpected noises are sooo notieable. I bet neigbours other side have heard it too..and they've already given mouthfull over the party in early hours in the morning other week.
Trouble is..rest of the residents are all middle aged or elderly..some seriously ill..those who are not retired are working, some working at nights or odd hours. So one youngster with her visiting friends and not so considerate manners is going to cause havoc amongst us.
After the last party she did came around with apology and box of chockies.. :-\..but where is the brains rest of the time? >:(
I try to think that I was in her age once too... ::)..If I can remember..

When I moved to live next to a busy Bristol street as a student it took several weeks to get used to the traffic noise. During the holidays at home I found it so quiet that every sound woke me up!!

Having said that I slept in the attic room right through the 1983 hurricane that felled trees at the end of the garden, removed the workshop roof and brought one of the chimney stacks down.  ::)

I guess it depends on how tired you are?

[GrannieAnnie]

I was surprised to hear England has hurricanes, then googled and read about your 1703 hurricane that lasted many days and killed so many sailors, maybe 1500. Now that would be something to rant about.

Oh yes we get them!! That and nearly everything else there is to have in most other parts of the world.
I guess that's why the English are always so willing to talk about the weather.   ::) ;)
