Good morning peevers.

I've been awake since pretty early and opened the windows to listen to the start of the dawn chorus. It was lovely.

Last week there was a peeve about getting disturbed when doing your own thing. Maybe we could expand that and find out what things do disturb you?

I appreciate that we all live in different set ups, but wherever you are maybe there is a particular noise or activity that annoys you. Let's find out.

Today's POTD is;

A noise or activity that gets to you.

Please let us know what it is.

Yes! The ringing in my ears, the crunching in my neck, the boom boom boom of rap crap going past the house. Many things are irritating to me. Good morning Jezer!

Here we get occasional booms from artillery fire- no kidding.

The range is about 25 miles away.

I have really sensitive hearing (I hear at negative 10 dB, 15 dB is average), am Asperger's, and have PTSD. Ergo, every time sound I hear a loud sound, I freak out. Did I mention I go to a deaf school? ...I spend a lot of my time freaking out, lol.

Yes.

I used to live 20 odd miles the other side and you could hear them there as well.

It's not deafening, more a vibration you sense though there is a distant thud.

You mean like getting woke up at 5AM when you don't have to work until 9? 1 1/2 weeks until peace and quiet in the morning
