It was so peaceful earlier.


Beautiful day, no planes, no traffic noise, no kids kicking off.


Until somebody in the Crystal Palace Road/North Cross Road area decided to start drilling and hammering outside.


Whoever you are, I genuinely hope the outcome of your DIY was worth disturbing everybody else's peace.

It is nice when it's peaceful, so I always get up early and sit outside.


People will get up and do things - it is often the only chance they get. I'll be strimming the garden, having a garden party (don't worry, outside of London) and no doubt the kids will be making loads of noise


My house is busy from 6am to midnight, often later, so I have to make an effort to find a quiet moment - I can hear the birds singing as I sit here in the sunshine, with the dog snoring....


oh no - hold that - the teenager's just walked in ...... moment over....

Lovely quiet day yesterday (apart from the dog who barks continuously when his owners leave) as the crew doing the loft extension opposite had the day off.

All last summer had three lots of kitchen extension/loft work done at once by three neighbours. Really disturbing. Made a polite comment about it to one owner who replied "well, you must expect that when you live near a building site" as if I'd chosen the whole arrangement myself.

    • Having had several cats over the past 40 years - mainly rescue, we have a tried and tested routine, Initially confined to one room with litter tray/food/water - we take it in turns to stay for a few minutes several times a day so they become familiar with our scent. They are gradually introduced to the rest of the house. We have a wire cat basket and we place cat in basket and take them outside, over a few days we place basket in different areas of the garden - grass area/gravel area, patio area etc - different flowers/plants. Some of the more nervous cats we walk around the garden on a lead. They get use to the scent of the garden. We have a cat flap in the back door so they have full access - If we need to keep cat in - just block off the cat flap so they cannot escape! We are now down to one elderly cat - who during the summer just laid on the garden chairs and came in for food, but as weather getting colder prefers to sit on a worktop in the kitchen looking out into the garden. So we are back to the cat litter as she is reluctant to go out in the rain/cold.  
    • With fibre you are paying for the speed, which is the number, yours is 300 so if you did a lot of gaming, for example, you would want the fastest possible.  If it's just office work or maybe streaming on Netflix you likely won't need as fast, but, if there are a lot of people in your house all doing their own thing on different devices, then faster speeds are better.  I don't rely on my Wi-Fi much other than when I am using my mobile.  I use Ethernet cables to connect up everything, I Have one cable running from my router, along the skirtings and through a hole I drilled in the wall to another room.  I have attached the plusnet speed guide which gives you an idea of how it works.   
    • I'd reread what you posted and try to summarise.  It just comes across as a rant.
    • Really like living in a country where big brother is  looking at you -, not that it is likely to happen in UK but crime should have stricter consequences.. not just put into jail which I gather is where more bad habits are learnt.
