Things that are not conducive to a good night's sleep:

• Someone setting fire to a fallen tree in the park just outside your bedroom window.
• The fire engine arriving to put out the tree (this is your fault as you did call 000).
• A cat jumping from the bathroom sink against the window, knocking everything on the windowsill to the floor in a vain attempt to catch a moth. This happens just as you doze off.
• The same cat knocking everything to the floor again 15 minutes later. This happens just as you doze off.
• The same cat knocking everything to the floor again 10 minutes later and then running about the house like a maniac while you jump around like an idiot to catch the moth and throw it out the back door (into the smokey park).
• Drunken idiots in the park, fighting and swearing at 3am (possibly over who put out their lovely fire).
• A small child that wakes up at the crack of dawn, full of giggles and energy (having slept soundly through the night's “entertainment”).
