Im on holiday visiting family in the US and its 6.29am as I write. I can hear a few birds, an airplane overhead and a car every once in a while. It’s a residential street off quite a busy one in a major city but the noise doesn’t reach the house. Might be a dog walker out there but I’m not getting up to check!

Nothing right now but I expect I'll see people walking past soon enough.
Yesterday evening I saw three small children riding a homemade soapbox car type thing (our road is on a slope) that was made out of a big plastic box on wheels with a small chair inside. It looked so fun, proper childhood fun.

My husband and teenager are jumping up and down in the green bin.

Not a lot. Postman that is all

Nothing, though my son’s friend has just turned up and I couldn’t answer the door as I’m still in my dressing gown. Son was asleep. That was fun 🙄

Dh answered the door in his bathrobe this morning, to let in one of ds’s friends. I don’t know which of them was the more embarrassed. Dh thought it was going to be a parcel delivery, as he was expecting a part for his bicycle.

Nothing thankfully. A few people walking down to the park and Meadows at the end of the cul de sac plus the odd car and delivery van. Postman came about an hour ago.

Rainbow1235 · 04/04/2026 16:55

Very quiet here live on a very quiet lane . I can hear the wind howling tho

My neighbour has just hung a huge flag of his football team. He attached a flag pole to the front of his house… I hope it’s not permanent

ColdWaterDipper · 04/04/2026 18:22

We don’t have a street outside as we’re on a farm, but one of our cats just walked past the house and headed away down our driveway / track. So in about 5 minutes there will be a cat walking across the lane at the end of our drive. No cars go past regularly as it’s a little used lane in the middle of nowhere, maybe 4 or 5 vehicles go past per day I’d estimate, and they are mostly tractors. It’s is helluva windy out there though this afternoon!

Chickoletta · 04/04/2026 19:18

A pheasant just walked past and my cat stalked it. (Rural Cornwall).

Rollergirl79 · 04/04/2026 19:20

No street as such here as we're rural, but a few ramblers walking down the lane. Bit windy here at the mo but usually it's lovely and quiet. Sheep and lambs in the fields all around us so can hear them intermittently. So lucky to live here.

MoonWoman69 · 04/04/2026 19:31

Apart from the wind and my wicky wacky cats being blown in, absolutely bloody nowt! It's rocking up a storm out there! (Going to prepare my veg for the roast tomorrow! Have a lovely Easter weekend one and all! Bring on the eggs, the baby cheesus demands it! 😁)

ThingammyBob · 04/04/2026 19:32

Nothing to see outside my house other than snow. On the plus side it is 19:30 and still daylight.

DuchessofStaffordshire · 04/04/2026 19:52

The twat with the noisy farty exhaust has just driven by again. I must find out where he lives (I assume it's a man) and apply some expanding foam to the exhaust in question.

LizzyA123 · 04/04/2026 19:58

Not a soul about due to Storm Dave.There is a pigeon being brave (or stupid) having a quick drink from a puddle on the road, talk about ruffled feathers. 😂

DilemmaDelilah · 04/04/2026 20:05

8pm Saturday night. Nothing at all. Absolutely nothing except lots of birds singing. Early this morning we had a deer out at the front of the house, on the driveway we share with 2 neighbours. We are on the edge of a housing estate.

I fully expect our wildlife cameras to pick up more deer, foxes and badgers in the field adjoining our garden tonight.

Mimilamore · 04/04/2026 20:10

Somebody has parked Australian style front end on pavement and at an angle, it is a narrow dead end with a pub at the end so gets choca at weekends… people passing with blue bags from corner shop…

LadyMacbethssweetArabianhand · 04/04/2026 20:19

The street is full of cars, presumably visiting for easter. No-one is about- it's pouring rain and the wind is ramping up.

Mrsgreen100 · 04/04/2026 20:43

Fox making a din and a deer also ,
but tomorrow will be joyful sound of my near new neighbours , with their build
and possibly enjoying racing banger cars and quad bikes around the previously agricultural fields, joy oh joy
kinda missing the city tbh
and we are not city folk

riceuten · 04/04/2026 21:56

Nothing - I live in a cul de sac and there's no-one around - about 300 yards away, there's a busy dual carriageway I can hear in the distance. It's really windy, so even if someone was talking, I probably couldn't hear them.

Noname63 · 04/04/2026 22:12

Storm Dave is making himself known outside! 🌬️

SpiritOfEcstasy · 05/04/2026 02:34

I live on an island. There is always precisely nothing going on outside in my street. Ever 😂 The Northern lights show up once or twice a year. We get some off the scale storms … the named ones are kindergarten level for us …

user1485851222 · 05/04/2026 09:06

Horses in the fields, sheep on the hills, boats/ships on the sea, can't see anyone out and about at the moment. But that's my view every day.

Littletreefrog · 05/04/2026 09:30

DH is out picking up rubbish from everyone's bins that blew over in the night. We put ours in the garage because we knew it would blow over but obviously not everyone had the same thought.

Natsku · 05/04/2026 09:48

The kids are back out with their go-kart, which they've added a bit wooden frame to, and racing down the hill. Its making me jealous, wish I had one to ride in!
