Wind ( not my own ) and subsequent rattling windows

 

OH's snoring !!!

 

This bleeding cough that won't completely clear up.

 

At present, a broken tooth.

 

I'm an incurable insomniac and have always had difficulty sleeping, so I spend my time listening to the owls, and the cows in the fields across the railway down the road ... they've got insomnia too !

 

My overactive mind!

 

I work a 3 shift system so after 7 nights I'm used to sleeping in the day but then I change to working afternoons finishing at 2200 get used to that and all change I'm getting up at 0500 so although I would love to sleep it's difficult

 

I'm happy to report that it did eventually clear up and I'm now sleeping soundly again!

 

Shortly after getting into bed last night, all windows open, breeze blowing gently, quiet and still, I heard an extraordinary sound, quite close to the house, several times.
Not a cluck, next doors chickens, nor a bark, one of their dogs out on a late night toilet break. I think it may have been a deer, they do come around my car when it is quiet, not necessarily only at night, they seem quite brazen.
It was disturbing, sounded like a human. I lay listening for ages, trying to work out what it might be. There are no windows in the back of my house and I couldn't be "a**ed" to get up, creep downstairs, go outside and investigate further.
