About 100 metres from my place the beach soccer and beach volleyball events are being held.
They have erected grandstands and airconditioned tents for those wanting food and drinks. Tomorrow somewhere around 3,000 people will drive down our sleepy little street. (okay it is not my street but because there are only four residences in it, I think of it as being our street!)
It does not really annoy me that the organisers decided to make our/my road a one way passage over the next 8 days. The fact that I can no longer park my vehicle at the front of my own residence is also not a great concern.
What annoys me is that they will not tell the local people how much it will cost them to go and watch ant particular event. The local folk are getting the impression that they are not welcome at an event being held in their own frontyard.
