Strange voices, shouting "Ohh Lord" and "Hallelujah". They're getting fainter.

over the whir of the other computer that's still on for some reason, I can hear birds chirping and the occasional car going by. Earlier this morning (about 5:30) all i could hear was a posse of birds with a piercing 2 tone call who wouldn't STFU and caused me to be awake at stupid-o-clock for no good reason on a Saturday. grrrrr. Now they've stopped -probably sleeping, little gits. Yes, it's 8:30 and i've already been doing paper/computer work for over an hour. no I can't get stupid quickbooks to reconcile. No, I can't find the problem. Maybe this cup of tea will help

There's no noise outside. It's dead quiet just like most nights here.

About the birds. We have ones here called curlew's that make a two tone call. Kind of like the sound of a wolf whistle, but sadder and slower. Or I suppose awestruck at the awesome beauty of the subject. Like slow and...well...awestruck.

A curlew would be bliss compared to this little bugger. I'mm'a set the cats onto it and all it's kin until we have extinction.

Just before, I thought I could hear zombies, but it was just drunk teenagers.

Awww bless. That's so cute.

Right now I can hear the jingle jangle tune of an icecream van somewhere in the village.

drunk teenagers are cute? lol I don't think so. They usually vomit indiscriminately. (I'll have you know that indiscriminately is a really big word for a drunk person to spell)

I can hear the Elmhurst Road - there's always traffic on it, day and night, because it's part of the ring road (A41) as well as being the main road through the estate.

Also the birds - mostly starlings.
A neighbour was banging about in a gardening way, but that's stopped now.

I don't hear anything! Autumn barks occasionally at a wandering squirrel...but that's about it. Very, very quiet morning. Everyone must be nursing a hangover.

That sounds poetic.

Autumn barks occasionally at a wandering squirrel...
Winter covers itself in a blanket of snow...
Spring opens it's shell, revealing a pearl....
Summer nurtures grass, which I must mow...
