The CIA mistakenly believe the house is the dwelling of a prime mover in the

You've all forgotten the lovely odours from the nearby brewery and
sewageworks. And being a stopping-point for the local icecream van.

I like the malty yeasty smell that comes from real breweries. You
don't get that much in Z.H. Netherlands, where they seem to avoid
using both in their "beer" making process.

Try living near an oil refinery!

and
sewageworks. And being a stopping-point for the local icecream van.


LOL! How could we forget that?

hail stone and cats on hot tin roofs
road drills on a hot summer night
goods trains shunting all night in the initially inexplicably cheap
hotel in Garmisch Patenkirchen
and the couple in the next room in a hotel in Turin........

Now that was a sound which travelled. You could here the goods wagons
hitting the next one as they worked their way down a long train.

Here's my reality, I'm not making it up, honest.

I created an annoying water feature to block out the following:

Next door neighbour shouting obscenities to her children all
day long, starting 7 am
Other next door neighbour has a noisy shower pump that
rattles our house 6 am
First next door neighbour has an echoey washing machine
that spins all my blood cells when I'm in the garden
Results of a multi-cultural area - 2 houses of South African
students holding all night and following day parties as soon
as it gets hot
2 Carribean neighbours doing the same all year long
Taxis hooting when they arrive rather than knocking at the door,
any time of day or night
2 dogs of unknown residence barking to eachother all night long
Icecream man DOES stop outside our house every day g
Street repairs starting at 8am on a Sunday
Car repair shop drilling or something from 8am to 8pm
Planes overhead (but not too low or frequent, we can always
talk without a problem)
Police helicopters buzzing for half an hour or more, always
when I'm trying to get to sleep. That IS loud.

Lately, my own daughter contributing to the cacophany now
she has moved on from Spice Girls to rock - HELP!

And my cats - I've been able to accomodate all their bad
habits, but I can't bear the sound of frogs screaming when
the cats play with them. I'm usually home, though, and can
rescue them.

I nearly forgot, we have a bagpipe player somewhere, not too
close, and he or she sounds very good.

No unpleasant whiffs, but we do get lots of interesting cooking
smells around here.

Well, my tiny garden is quite a sancturary, I'd go mad without it!
