Sleep

 Well living in the middle of two huge airbases , the last 2 weeks have been a tad noisy as well the usual fighter jets but its the cargo planes at night  that are a killer, the house vibrates and that wakes me up even with ear plugs . Just to make it more fun theyre war gaming next week . Living here for years we dont notice it like the incomers they look a tad worried when the jets are screaming above us . But hey theres a war on what can we expect ?  More things to be peeved about are the garages running out of fuel , i get it , we are very rural so people need it for work , but theres no shortage yet, it should take a few weeks for this to hit , people flogging petrol cans for ridiculous amounts on facebook are taking the piss , plus the big chain garages upping the prices already. No amount of dont panic will make folks not panic , so we shall see.  i will stock up on milk just because im at the last pack from the january delivery and a couple of other bits we are low on , but otherwise im pretty well stocked so i dont need to go anywhere we have a vehicle fueled and it can be used just for hospital and doctor visits and we will just sit here and watch the news .   .

  1. Are you in the uk? Am guessing Norfolk as you are so near an air Base. I haven't noticed food stockpiling yet but queues to fill up on petrol were huge on Sunday in our area (Gatwick).

  2. oh no Kate, not good. When we lived in the UK, we lived in Cumbria in the Eden Valley and they used to "practice" using their fighter jets flying there. The vicar at my mother-in-laws funeral had to stop speaking when they flew over as it was so noisy. I must write about that in a post, as I have another incident which I have just remembered about. Regardless, none of us are happy in Canada with what is happening in the Middle East.........
