What wakes you up in the morning?

Often my bladder or more recently the blackbirds who are nesting just beyond my window. Their squawking is deafening.

The broken manhole outside the bedroom window!! Usually about 5 am when cars start coming down the road and it starts to 'click clack'

I regularly report the problem to the council, the local councillor and the MP, as do the neighbours, and we thought that relief was on the way when someone came, took photos and painted a blue cross on it. That was 2 months ago and it's still click clacking.

Usually my bladder- sometimes my cough- sometimes just daylight?

Birdies - I love the fact that they like my garden but there are times when I’d prefer the lie in to their dawn chorus…

Usually it’s needing the loo! Or arthritic pain.
I’m currently away from home on a summer school on a university campus. I’ve been awake a while, but I’m guessing everyone in the building is awake now at 6.30, as the bin lorry has just been. That made enough noise in itself, then the men were shouting as they worked, but what really amused me was an automated voice, in the poshest of accents, announcing
“ Stand clear. Vehicle reversing”.
