I agree with you @AnnaB, I'm slightly deaf and even with my hearing aid I cannot hear them at all. It's unnerving trying to cross a street with vehicles behind you and coming out of nearby side streets.
I'm bound to have good and bad days so just going with the flow and trying to adjust.
That’s better … I have a coffee … Good morning folks 😊 ☕️
We’ve had a quiet night undisturbed by car alarms. Our neighbour came around yesterday morning to see if we’d heard his car alarm overnight, as he’d followed the garage instructions to charge up the battery and it was fully charged … we had to tell him it had gone off three times overnight! … the poor man was mortified and said he’d try again to fix it.
I don’t know what he’s done, perhaps he’s had to disable it, but it was blissfully peaceful all night. 😊
When we lived in the inner city car alarms were just part of the soundscape and we slept through those and the other noises, but although we’re still technically in Norwich, we’re surrounded by marshes which are nature reserves, a golf course and a wooded SSSI and this area is so quiet and peaceful … just the sound of the wind in the trees with the owls calling hedgehogs snuffling and muntjac barking at night and then the birds in the morning, so in the summer we can sleep with the windows wide open … and a car alarm 100m away is really really loud! We must thank him for dealing with it so promptly. 😊
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
I too was awake at 5 am (here) in the company of a mozzie. There's always one that gets in!! I renewed the oil of citronella and drifted off around 6.30 but not for long.
Overcast and humid again - perfect growing weather for summer vegetables.
I wasn't awake at 5am because 4 year old grandson refused to go to bed last night. Kept getting up and running about and disturbing his brother and sister until 1.30am. He was up before 8am (French time) so he is now in front of the TV. Last resort to give everyone some peace.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
A bit cooler here today so after my bike/run, I did some gardening and decided to make a ratatouille for lunch with a little help from my neighbours' lovely ripe tomatoes.
Not sure where the week has gone! I have popped in, honestly!
I think the summary from you guys is: mixed weather, a few falls, a rubbish Birthday, some day trips, a few car dramas and rubbish sleeps. Here’s to a better week all round!
Rain forecast all day here so we can’t finish the hedge trimming (shame 😉). I have two builder’s sacks full of trimmings now!

Off on my bike for the dog's morning run.
Have a pleasant Sunday everyone.
