Although night shifts have become more infrequent recently, they are no less arduous or onerous. It strikes me as typical that as I settle down for a day sleep in preparation for tonight they begin digging up the road once again. The noise of a pneumatic drill can always penetrate ear plugs irrespective of cost or quality, a series of dull thuds that seems to make the whole house shudder. The problem is more often getting to sleep, rather than staying asleep.
Matters aren't helped by the heat, having the window open creates a nice breeze but the noise of day-to-day life (ongoing building work) on our streets is incredibly disruptive. I can only hope for deterioration in the weather over the next five days, until then its back to the clicking & buzzing of the fan as it circulates warm air around the bedroom.
