My dear wife got in touch with the local council to see if they could do anything about the street light alongside our home which throws light into both the backyard and our bedroom.
My main gripe, of course, is with the stray light in the backyard which bathes my makeshift observatory.
They've just got back with a quote for $170 to install a shield, which will block 80% of the light, and they've also given us locations of other shade installs that we can go and check out.
This is a pleasant surprise; I was expecting them to tell us to bugger off!
