post the view from your window

Yep it's all new. Livingstone ushered it in apparently.

The built environment in London becomes more soulless and deathly by the day. It's had a definite effect on my quality of life. I can't stand it.

That's Paris isn't it? We've got lots of high rise stuff

i can see 2 and 3 storey buildings from your window and woops' though? that would be extremely rare here and i would think in paris as well?

Oh I see what you mean, yes, you're right.

People still prefer to live in houses than apartments in England definitely.

Limburger isn't going to post here because he lives in the middle of stunning desert and Sierra where the condors circle the sky. He feels pity for us and will not gloat.

Am I talking to myself here or what?

Wow I'm moody today

Sorry, probably cos we've all seen your view loads of times before but no one has seen yyaldrins winter wonderland before

Just looked out the window and frankly it's a world of dread and fear, where the only water flowing is the bitter sting of tears.

I tried to post but the file was too large

Send it to Gus. He's a computer programmer he can work out how to shrink it for you

apart from a couple of years in my early teens I have always lived in flats ("apartments" if we are being proper) and I genuinely can't imagine ever buying a house. I've got a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom and bedroom. What else do I need if I'm not going to have a family? Why do I need a flight of stairs that needs vacuumed and cleaned, or a dining room when I'm happy with a ready meal in front of the TV or my laptop? Houses seem so alien to me, I'm all for flats.

This is the path along which I trudge home after a long day of whatever it is that I do at the bottom of the garden.

 

[john eden]

Is it the path to the Bitcoin mine?

I didn't get very far on my walk 'cos it is so grim out, grey, cold, wet, crushing and destructive. I did get either side of the road I like to live on though.
One side - old school derelict, don't see many of these anymore, I'm impressed it's not luxury flats yet.

on the other side an architecture graduate has had his moment


"it is your destiny to live in this building"

otherwise the main feature of the streets is the discarded christmas trees, dozens of the bloody things



london is a country coming down off its trip

@IdleRich fun fact until regulations were relaxed in the 70s City buildings were not allowed to be taller than the height of the Fire Service's longest ladder. Spires and cathedrals apart of course.

It was the best of times

That's not a desert? And there's no condors.

I get hawks some times. And regular black bears
