Sounds before 8am

[squirmelia]

The sound of the news on my neighbour's TV seeping through the walls; The sound of the disabled parking space, babbling; The sound of the spindley crocus, silent.

I used to work nights. Would go to bed around 3 am.
I used to rent a room from a guy who was in the process of renovating his bathroom.
The bathroom and my bedroom shared a wall.

for 3 weeks, I woke to the lovely sounds of the shower getting ripped out, and a new shower being put in, at 6 am. The drill breaking through on my side, to sprinkle dry wall dust into my face, at 6 am, is a moment that I will remember for the rest of my life.
