48 hours (don't look at the gale force video, just turn the soundtrack up and enjoy)
It's battery hasn't gone flat yet and it has been doing this for 48 hours.
This /+@#+£€++×#%%* motorbike is parked on a corner opposite our house; a corner where the winter gales rock it about. It's motion alarm has not stopped going in 48 hours.
Fortunately my humans can't hear it in the bedroom.
Unfortunately the bedroom has become the body of a guitar for the metal balcony rods two floors up. The metal frame that their awnings are secured to, has unsecured itself from its fixings and wallops the railings with staccato quickstep timing... dang de dang de dong, de bing bang bang bang BASH, dit dit dit, rattle and jive, twang, ting ting ting, toing, some BIG BEN BONGS, more ding de ding de ding.....
How does anyone NOT do something about that?
F has threatened to smash up the motorbike and throw it in the sea. I'm not sure what she plans to do with the back balcony timpany section.
One thing is for certain, the owner won't be paying any attention when she does go out and beat it to death.
Oh wow it's all fun and games at your house Tigger. You don't go and wake Mr B & T up to tell them you can't sleep because of all the noise outside do you?
ReplyDeleteUuuuummmmmm maaaaybeeeee! Do you think that was a bad idea?

ReplyDeleteOMC... Tigger, that is baleful. Are there no noise pollution rulings in Greece whereby F can call the authorities to have the thing removed? As for the balcony situation - oh dear. Full muffle earphones with well-chosen musical soundtrack, pawhaps? Hugs and whiskeries, YAM-aunty xxx
Greeks seem to love noise. They get all bent out of shape over tiny perceived slights, but noise any volume, any kind, any time, seems to go unremarked. For example, the council sends the truck the empties the bottle bank round at 3am. No one seems to think there's anything wrong with that. Fz & Pz Mr T and F
Delete48 hours!! Bloody hell. How has the neighbourhood stood for that. Geez, go and smash something to make it stop!!
ReplyDeleteBlowing a gale over here, rain now and again. Damn nuisance. We were all going to a rural taverna off the island. That's off
We are surprised you aren't being tossed up in our front yard. Its howling out there and we don't think we have seen it that rough.
DeleteWe would all be under the bed if that happened here, we hate loud noises in fact the wind would spook us.

It is making our big glass doors flex which is a bit disconcerting. F might have to lose the shutters after all.
DeleteAre there ear muffs for cats? What do they look like?
ReplyDeleteThey look like sleeping with your paws over your ears.
DeleteI am all tensed up listening to the video and reading your story. noise makes me CRAZY. i can't even stand what some thingk is the music of wind chimes. we saw wind chimes at a flea market, 32 years ago, bob loved them, metal pipes it was. he came home and made to of them. hung them outside. i begged him to take them down, he said it sounded good to him, he can't hear a thing. the 3rd day the phone rang, a woman said, I am the neighbor that my back yard touches yours. I don't want to be rude but could you please take those wind chimes down? I said thank you so much, will do.. I went out an yanked them down and they are siding in the garage with all bob's hoarded stuff, i assume he thinks i will die first and he can put them back up. I have to say, i thought about while listening to the video going out there and kicking that thing to the curb..
ReplyDeleteHa - we have windchimes but they are indoors. When they tinkle it is time to close the doors.
DeleteSometimes I am grateful that I have such bad hearing.
ReplyDeleteF thinks I, the Tigger, to rather hard of hearing. I like to keep 'em guessing.
