I was very aware of it and tried a few things to mitigate it but she’s not used to having to regulate her volume so she’d ramp up when she got excited about something and I’d have to give her the “keep it down” hand signals. Other than that, just closed the balcony door and window, myself spoke in low volumes to try and set the tone and when it got to midnight I moved us from the lounge into bed hoping that’d quiet her down a bit and it did a little but she’s just a loud talker.

Anyway, it’s one time I may have (I’m not even sure if I did) disturbed my neighbours in many years of living here so I’m sure they can forgive me for a couple of hours as I’ve forgiven others for their rare disturbances.
