Music In The Morning

Like many others with projects to get on with, I find myself in a struggle. On the one hand, the relative quiet of the early hours is conducive to productivity in the absence of distraction, yet on the other you're tired and want to go to sleep. Eventually I succumbed to the latter, and realising I was asleep at my computer, decided it was right and proper to abandon any more effort and seek the comfort of my bed. Tired.... Eyes closing.... zzzzzzzzzz
THUD THUD THUD THUD THUD THUD THUD THUD THUD....
What the...?! Ten o'clock and the neighbours have decided that they want to play music. Okay, I've slept in, and I do snore at night, but I can't get any rest with this noise coming through the walls and floorboards. As it happens I do need to be elsewhere, so I left my hi-fi pumping out a choice selection of death metal tracks. If I'm not allowed to sleep, no-one is. That's the kind of mood I was in this morning as I shuffled into the bathroom and noticed a zombie in the mirror. Oh no... That's me...
Eventually my errant neighbour got the hint and quietened down, leaving me free to rush out the house satisifed in having administered to my sense of justice. Except... The front door won't close. Eh? What's going on? I haven't got time for this! No, no good, it won't close. It's saturday so the letting agent have gone to sleep and won't wake up until monday afternoon, so I'll have to sort this out.
Back upstairs, dig out some screwdrivers, and back down to the front door in a sort of battle between urgency and tiredness. Adjust this... Adjust that... Nope, still wont close. I all but had the door off it's hinges until I discovered a small insignificant stone had gotten into the doorway and was preventing it from shutting completely. How on earth did that get there? More to the point, how on earth did the door close previously with that stone there? No matter, the world is back on course, and my life returns to mundane tedium. Sigh....
Radio Amnesty
In 2015 the ordinary old fashioned radio broadcasts in Britain will be switched off and everyone will need to own a shiney new digital radio to hear their favourite metronome and chuckle at the inept humour of programme presenters. The government are aware that many of us are unhappy and may even be ignorant of that fact and have offered a 'radio amnesty' to persuade us to upgrade. Everyone will buy new radios. Do you hear?
Actually I'm not that bothered. I just hope my neighbours are too busy bonking and arguing to realise that the reason their radio isn't working has nothing to do with dead batteries or being thrown against the wall.
