Drums in the walls

I have moaned in the past about noisy student neighbours. This year, we have lovely student neighbours. They actually study!

But some fool of a hobbit must have dropped a stone down a drain at about 9 last night. You know: thud, thud thud, thud-THUD... It appears to be in the downstairs back room of the student house. No obvious cause, though best guess is something to do with the heating.

It went on ALL NIGHT, driving monkeys and students mad. (Well, luckily not the teen monkeys, whose rooms are away from that wall.) Even the kittens--who never seemed to mind the music and shouting last year--wouldn't go in the bedroom. By 5 this morning we'd all given up on sleep in both houses and were in the kitchens on the back, where you could hardly hear it. It stopped at about 8am. Hopefully because the landlord has found and fixed it?

As far as I know, last year's crap drummer isn't dead. So how come he's haunting us?

Here's hoping, indeed.

All quiet last night :)

And I have at least met two of the new neighbours. Both Eastern European girls clearly overwhelmed by the whole thing: one sensible, one clueless, but both mostly sweet. And very tired.
