Street Lights

This is only a grumble if you have a street lamp outisde your bedroom window! We have not one, but 3 and it doesn't really get dark.

The only way to ensure a healthy and full nights sleep is to black out the windows. Lined curtains are simply not enough to block out the dreaded glare of the street light.

The council could quite safely turn off at least one, if not two of the lights and give sweet and pleasant dreams to nearby residents and save money at the same time. Note to self: must find out the cost of running a street light.

One good thing did come out of my search for dark and peaceful nights - I discovered blinds in a box. These simple, but effective blinds are the best thing since sliced bread, for anyone who has a resident street light.
