I never do sleep very well but this week is so bad. They are re-surfacing the main road and start work at eleven in the evening until six the next morning.

Not such a problem you might think as I don´t work so a good lie in would be ok......except that the new work on the empty site next door starts at half seven and goes on until five in the afternoon.

I´m really wrecked and it has only been a few days. It appears that this will last for months. The worst of it is the digger things which beep everytime they reverse. Just like a continual alarm clock going off in your head.

Sorry, had my moan and feel better for it, night all xx
 
You could be right Cashman, ´im indoors is sound asleep after his whiskey. He was asking me what the problem was earlier today. I have a brandy to take to bed. I really want to sleep!
 
I'll offer again June. :) You come and catch up on some sleep on my sleepy little avenue and I'll come your way, get absolutely blotted ... pass out were I fall ....

Only joking hun, hope you get some peace soon :) xxx

best of luck jun i have had trouble sleeping for many years now n i know where yer comin from.
 
Does nobody else mind?

What about people with children?

I'm sure most people would put up with it for a night or two, but for months?

It would drive you mad.

Start a protest group. Make placards, march on the Town Hall, or even chain yourself to a digger.:D

Good luck. x
 
It probably isn´t helping that we are having strange weather at the moment. It´s very hot and sticky for November and the wind from Africa is bringing as much dust as the building site! Everyone is sneezing and snuffling.

Oh well, shutters and windows closed and it seems the blokes are off for their brandy break, happen I might get to sleep before they start off again.

Off at a tangent..........I met a really nice bloke from Chorley today.

night all xx

in spain rindy?:rofl38: juns wrong nationality.
 
Oh that sounds awful. It drives me up the wall when my neighbour is drilling and hammering during the day but I realise it has to be done. It must be terrible not to be able to sleep at night for noise too. :(

I know you said the placards at the Town Hall idea isn't on over there but are there any neighbours similarly affected and how are they coping?
 
I´m not sure if it was the brandy or just sheer exhaustion but I did manage to sleep for most of the night.

My neighbour did ring the Police at the beginning of the week but it seems that the work has to be done and it´s better done at night. We´ll just have to grin and bear it.

Brandy sales are set to rise in Tenerife!!
 
Step 1:
Find a time when the noisy vehicle is left unattended.

Step 2:
Pour a bag of sugar down the fuel filler cap of the digger or whatever is your source of annoyance. It will bollox up the engine to such a degree that it will take a few days to fix.

PS. I never told you this. :rolleyes:
 
Aaaah, poor Junetta, however, that's what comes of leaving the U.K. .. would never be allowed here and would have double glazing to compensate.

There are good things about our country, can you imagine the uproar :D ; but you will just have to think of the advantages of living in Tenerife whilst you are tossing and turning .. might help a little xx
 
Dont get too addicted to the brandy june you might have to keep drinking it to get to sleep even after the noise has gone. Mind you it is cheaper over there isnt it? Good luck i know what its like not sleeping.
