Peace and Quiet

[whiffey]

... there's not a lot of it about.

When it's not power tools, it's a lawn mower (how long does it take to cut a small lawn - at least 2 hours, then another 2 to strim the edges). When the mowing has finished, the bloody ice-cream van tours up and down the road with that ghastly Whistle While You Work. Planes going overhead all the time of course, fat lumbering droning jumbos, then the police helicopter, then a yobbed-up Corsa backfiring past the bottom fence with maximum bass on those pathetic boot-filling woofers, then the nextdoor kids screaming, then the motorbikes on the common. I only wanted to listen to Mozart's 29th in the garden while I cut back the worst excesses of next doors invading brambles and prepare the flower beds for the beauty of scented stocks and flaming red salvias.

If you live somewhere peaceful - enjoy it, it is a rare commodity.

I am a trifle hacked off.

Yes, the "snocker" is quite good, innit? lol
