Last night

I cooked dinner and sat down to eat it at about half past six, and watching a Family Guy dvd that I'd been given. Shortly afterwards I could hear one car engine running, then two then more. The event that was taking place had needed road closures, so all the traffic that would have gone down the main road was having to come down the side street. I couldn't concentrate on either the film or my dinner, so off went the film and into the kitchen went my dinner. About half an hour later the traffic started moving freely again so I resumed the film.
At ten past eight I could hear the thing that lives upstairs. She was outside and shouting at one of her children. When she got in my troubles really started. The music wasn't deafeningly loud, but left me completely unable to concentrate on my film. Off it went again. The music went on till half past nine, but the stampeding around and all the noises of overexcited toddlers and a shouting mum didn't stop until after I went to bed at twenty to eleven, having just finished my cold dinner.
