whatta racket!

oh the drama! a few times a week the neighbours two doors down come outside, stand on the lawn and yell to the crazy chinese lady next door.

MRS...PLEASE TURN DOWN THE MUSIC. IT'S TOO LOUD.


sometimes they bring their crying baby for effect and add baby-related pleas...The baby can't sleep!

two days ago, they kicked it up a notch. during my 1 o'clock con call (thank heavens for mute) the husband came and pounded on the door, heavily for minutes with the same pleas. i thought they might call the police.

it is a never-ending cycle. they live in a semi so they share walls...likely extra loud for the baby family especially.

it's a sad state of neighbourly affairs. i feel for the family but also suspect that my neighbour is playing her music so loud to drown out the competing voices in her head. not an easy situation for either party i suspect. they should give her an ipod with headphones!

I'm sooo glad our neighbour is a single woman in her late 50ies and only has a cat and is a bit of a recluse.

Our last neighbour played electric guitar (and he totally sucked) and big daddy almost got into a physical fight with the guy.
he was such an idiot and would play in the middle of the night.
Eventually we just moved.

Now I'm the one paranoid about making too much noise.
I'm always shhhh-ing lulu so she won't disturb our cat lady next door.
I never want her to move.
