Just a quick thank you to whoever nominated me for Bloscars - Was very kind! I know by my readership that my blog (unlike me )is small, but hopefully lovingly and honestly formed! I'm just chuffed to have been nominated. It seems some people are being rather mean about bloscars and giving Paddy a hard time - churlish b*ds!

I live next-door to woman with four teenage children. They are a normal family and sometimes noisier than others. Despite noticing her car from time-to-time I've heard nothing from next-door for weeks.

My lover and I were in the garden this afternoon having fed the birds and sat around while he was having post-prandial fag. I commented I'd not heard next-door for weeks - not even a whisper. we discussed school and work as possibilities but I said it was always quiet.

I must have tempted fate! Tonight is raucous teenage squeals and mysterious 'young people-type'music. Quite nice to hear some life.
