Little Miss Grumpy

Yesterday I was grumpy.

One important thing occurs when growing up as an only child in a big detached house (as I did) - you get used to silence. I like silence. Unlike many people, it doesn't bother me. I enjoy having periods of silence each day - especially when I've just woken up, just come home from work and when I'm getting ready for bed.

Which leads me onto the major downside to living in a flat in London - you rarely get silence. There's music, TVs, social gatherings, traffic, police helicopters, etc.

Sometimes I just crave silence. Yesterday I ended up reading in the bedroom as that was the quietest room. It wasn't really bad but I guess I'm just overly sensitive to noise that I can't control. I joked with Hubby that I need some ear defenders, something that would let me enjoy my own thoughts in peace. Maybe it's not such a bad idea.

It's an added bonus for when we go and visit our families - peace and quiet. Ahhh.

I hope today is better than yesterday.

Peaceful Journeys.

I can understand that - I love silence and we have plenty of it where I am now. I couldnt stand to live where I used to now. Hope tomorrow is a better day. Hugs

Well, thankfully today was good. No base beats or noisy televisions. I was able to potter around in peace. :o)
