We're in the garden with nice cold drinks.

We can hear the traffic and occasional sirens - we're on a main road and near all the emergency services.

Ds2 is wittering away, in the house.

Dishwasher draining behind me.

The local rook family is being very vocal.

And on either side, there are chattering, scratching and squeaky sounds. A bit like demadogs 😱

The Big Bang Theory on tv
Fan
Dog snuffling
DS making a drink in kitchen

TuftyMarmoset · 18/07/2022 22:45

I’m in the living room. I can hear road noise from the front and NDN playing music and talking in their back garden. And DP rummaging in the fridge for a late-night carrot.

HPandTheNeverEndingBedtime · 18/07/2022 22:45

Washing machine and the air ambulance going to the nearby hospital

TV - DH is watching my name is Earl

chubbachub · 18/07/2022 22:45

Fan running and sky news.

DecimatedDreams · 18/07/2022 22:45

The fan, the odd car and the horror that is Naked Attraction - DD is watching it and texting me updates, so turned over to see what was happening 😳

TheWayoftheLeaf · 18/07/2022 22:46

A plane, traffic, the fan, sirens, a fox having a tantrum

EllaPaella · 18/07/2022 22:46

My dog snoring her head off. It was too hot for walks today so I took her down to the beach at 9.30pm and she had a lovely long swim, she is now happily snoring her head off stretched out under my bed.
Windows are wide open and I can hear distant traffic.

HoobleDooble · 18/07/2022 22:48

The fan, someone clomping around next door and my rather loud wind once in a while 😁

RampantIvy · 18/07/2022 22:49

A train going past.

Goneback2school · 18/07/2022 22:49

The TV is on -Ozark and DH is tidying up in the kitchen. There's an occasional car on the road but generally quiet.

PickAChew · 18/07/2022 22:49

@DecimatedDreams our telly landed on naked attraction, a while back, and Ds1 was ready to throw the TV out of the window. Way out of his comfort zone!

Very very quiet whisper of the sea...so calm out there tonight.

ThistlyPerf · 18/07/2022 22:54

I’m on my balcony with a glass of red- it’s surprisingly quiet. Dishwasher on inside, occasional train, plus background hum of wildlife.

SanFranBear · 18/07/2022 22:54

My clock ticking... and that's it. Lovely!

TitInATrance · 18/07/2022 22:56

Traffic - cars and motorbikes. One passing perhaps every 5-10 seconds.

Caminante · 18/07/2022 22:59

Just my fan! Masking a little bit of traffic noise.

TheDogsMother · 18/07/2022 23:03

Newsnight inside , silent outside.

RosieLemonadeAndSugar · 18/07/2022 23:06

Drunk signing from the pool below our hotel balcony - nice drunk though! Currently 'my girl'

queenie2016 · 18/07/2022 23:08

The fan and cars in the distance from having the window open

RedLemonade · 18/07/2022 23:09

Kate Rusby singing, the tick of the cuckoo clock, hum of the fridge, DH closing up the shed outside and crunching on the gravel, the dog shifting in his sleep by the couch.

What a nice thread OP😌

CoverYourselfInChocolateGlory · 18/07/2022 23:09

A very little distant traffic
A light breeze
DD's gentle sleeping breath next to me

It's finally peaceful after a hot and busy day!
