Ah, thanks. I do tend to stress way too much over these things though. Maybe he leaves for a long holiday. It would also help if it would be a nice girl for a change instead of a guy with an annoying voice... But....

No, the space/soundscape issue is huge. I feel pretty lucky to be where I am now, though of course things are always fluid — never know who might be moving into the neighbourhood next.

I should .... what better place to test a lawn mower than on grass ????

My neighbour (I live in a 13-storey apartment building). He lives in the appartment diagonally above me, and as it is very hot today, he sits on his balcony, playing music and making telephone calls. And, it's my weak spot, because I HATE that, it makes me feel that I can't sit on my balcony, because I don't like to hear two types of music through one another, and it makes me feel awkward as these balconies are very close to each other.

This neighbour thing has driven me nuts since 2 houses before this one, I think I'd love to live in the middle of nowhere...

Yes, I do need professional help, lol, I know...

Ha! You should go tell the shop owner that your testing grounds are available for free use.

Lawn mowers. There's a mower fixin' place around the corner. Every day there's guys on riding mowers going around my block testing them. I wish they'd run over my yard to " test " them. If they all would do that......my yard would get mowed and I'd be inside in the A/C. ....... seems like a good idea to me.

Radio Paradise! I'm listening, against office rules.

Breakin' the law!  Breakin' the law!

Tombigbee,Tombigbee...I'm gonna hang these bones out to dry.......

The micro and the a/c...oh yeah, and the dog barking at everyone that walks by.

My cat is at the window doing his "I want that!" noise at a bird on the wire.

I heard a bird singing... one I don't think I've ever heard before.  It was beautiful! Melodic twittering.

I went to the window and looked out... a little brown bird, like a wren or sparrow, was right in the lilac, and sang it's beautiful song again.

Then, I hear a loud, SWOOSH! WHUMP!

My teenage son, next room over, slamming his window down because clearly the serenade has awoken him too early.
