    I repeat myself but it make me feel a bit better to write it somewhere ... there's SO much noise everywhere! The city in the summer is a perpetual noise chaos! From 7AM to 23PM it barely stops. Kids, cars, construction, dogs, people... it never end. And I live in a residential street, not a commercial or industrial area...
