The hood was very noisy tonight, with traffic on austin avenue mostly and in the streets. So much so that I decided to shorten my walk with Billy and ran home...to quietness. In Toronto, it would get very noisy as well...and I would run home to hubby, who would welcome me with a 'hi! what's up?' that was oh so very nice... Nowadays, hubby sits upstairs and says nothing. I have asked him if he gets tense by ambiant noise in the hood at times...he said yes. To me, it is this constant roaring and traffic noise. Most noticeable at night.
