Noise & neighbours

After a week or so here it's become apparent that the walls are incredibly thin. They're also incredibly poor at noise reduction. It's also become apparent that next door (the terrace side) are also quite noisy. Small children can be forgiven, but when it's the mother screaming at them at all hours, it's something else. I'm sure asking them to be quiet is only going to go so far, after all they're being subjected to listening to our house-wrecking.

On approaching the lady next door to ask when it was the kids bedtime (so we could stop with the noise) the response was vague to say the best:

"They don't really have a bedtime, as it's the holidays I've not really got them into a routine"

Great.

S & I agreed between us that 8pm was an acceptable hour. We'll restrict the noisy operations to before this time during the week.

There's also some distinctly herbal smells coming from that house.
