    The view from my window

    Many times I find myself just sitting looking out of the window , Very fortunate to have a sea view, it's a complete time waster...
    What's the view from your window? do you do the same? just watching the world go by, people watching . I can't be the only one!

    There is a concept.
    Has anyone patented it yet?
    Is there a cheap counterfeit version I can get?

    I work at the end of the runways at Heathrow in a portacabin that yesterday smelt like the changing room in a school gym, that today was so crowded and loud someone described like a 'pub when the beer runs out'. The phones appear not to work and the people around me are obviously deaf because they all shout all the time!
    Leave your chair for a second and some hairy arsed navvy steals it.
    Every 90 seconds a bunch of people sat in a long metal tube cruise loudly over my head, maliciously leaving the country or at least this locality for pastures difficult not to be better than the ones they are leaving.

    Windows ha!

    I'll watch the swallows playing with the wind and each other.
    In awe at their acrobatics.
    House martins are not as agile.
    Occasionally I'll see a hawk hanging in the wind having spotted food on the ground.
    Or the lambs gamboling about.

    At home the view of my window (bedroom) is mine & other people's gardens (got to admit my garden looks better than what i can see, thanks to my mum ). At work the view from the window are other stores and people clothes shopping. If i had a ocean view then i'd probably watch the world go by if i had nothing else to do.

    Well back in the UK in Sunny Donny, my bedroom window looked out onto a graveyard.

    My kitchen and bedroom overlook the Royal Golf Club House, with the sea behind it. My front windows overlook the carpark, other flats and the barracks. Looks like the sun is trying to break through this morning. I hope it succeeds, it's been a dull, rotten morning so far.

    At the front I look over the GCHQ 'doughnut' to the distant Malvern Hills.

    On a clear day, if my eyes were 20/20 again, and I had a powerful telescope, I might just be able to spot First Move if he were to stand at the high point doing a solo hallelujah.

    (Perhaps rather idiosyncratically, the hallelujah action is my invitation to a certain lady to dance as I approach from across the room.)

    Then again, I'm not sure he actually exists as other than a blur of franticiliscious movement ;-)

    Re: The view from my window

    From my window, I get a nice view of the municipal cemetery. I don't have a direct LOS to Jenny Lind's grave, the only famous person in it. Just before Xmas the council chopped down a dead tree that was only held-up by the ivy growing up it. Now I can see lots more gravestones, but I can also see more of the Malvern Hills too

    Other highlights are two churches, one Girls' School and a TV mast. My work is just out of sight about 1 mile away, although on days off I can sometimes hear the fire alarm tests

    I'll definitely trek up the Malvern Hills and do some 'franticiliscious movements' before I move away in the Summer. If Whitebeard points a telescope at the Hills he might see my blur, or he might get a visit from GCHQ's mod-plods

    From my window at home I can largely just see more houses.

    The view at work is a bit better, though...
