Is it noisy or is it just me??

The house should have been quiet today.

The Twinadoes have gone with their Daddy and Grandma to Healsville Sanctuary for the day so it has been just me and Muski. Luck was in my side and after a morning of washing and pottering and a fair bit of milk (for him not me) Muski had a nice long sleep after lunch and the house was silent….

Is it just me or does everything else sound louder when there are no screaming children in your house???

All of a sudden we had noisy neighbours… The cows sounded like the were in our back yard not 500 metres away in the next door paddock. Someone was using their tractor down the road. Somewhere there was a very confused rooster crowing at two in the afternoon. As I stood with the fridge door open waiting for some inviting food to leap out and scream ‘eat me’ (as you do) the motor suddenly whirred into action (most probably because I was standing with the door open) and it scared the heck out of me!

So many loud loud noises I just never ever hear!
