The oval down the road - my summer NIGHTMARE

ArrrgghhhhH!!!!!!!!! Damn baseball season! The local council has these lights on (the photo does not do their brightness justice) on from dusk to nearly midnight - get this - 3 nights a WEEK from now to the middle of autumn.

Time to sell up and move house.
