Window problems

Now that the cool weather is finally with us, we have taken to opening the windows in the bedroom and sleeping very comfortably with the cool air from outside wafting gently in on the breeze. Unfortunately, it's not only the cool air that wafts into our room but also the noises from outside. On Sunday morning, after a big night out, we had only just put our heads onto the pillows when a drunk woman started a screaming match with a taxi driver on the road below. Apparently she was unhappy with the $280 fare charged to get her from TST back to Tai Po. I fell asleep, but T tells me she went on to call the police. He's not sure what happened either, as he soon fell asleep too.

On Sunday night, my sleep was interrupted by a series of blood-curdling screams that appeared to be coming from a male. He sounded like he was having his balls chopped off (not that I know what that sounds like!). This went on for about five minutes before abruptly stopping and I managed to get back to sleep.

Who would have thought sleeping with the window open would be so problematic?
