From my Window

The sun is shining through the bars casting shadows on the padded walls. My heart tilts and sings as I think of daffodils amongst the clouds on a rain soaked fell .. oh to be young again now spring approaches

A courier van has just blocked my view of the fountain and pond in the business park.

Mind you he's just delivered my new mobile phone so I've got a new toy to play with this afternoon.

As I peer through dusty venetion blinds I can just make out the glint of the sun as it reflects off a window on the high rise office building opposite. /forums/images/icons/frown.gif

from the window in front of I can just not see Nelson's column and from the window behind me I can just not Big Ben. I can see both St. Martins in the Fields dome and spire and the Cabinet Office clearly.

........I can see the sunlight glistening on the discarded needles, and a dosser is kicking a Macdonald's carton along the gutter.

London... dont'cha love it? /forums/images/icons/frown.gif

My boat, covered by a tarpaulin, which is doing exactly the opposite to what it should be doing(anyone inventing a weatherproof boat cover that works ,will make a fortune)
also a very sad hanging basket turning to compost.

is the metal cladded side of the warehouse next to where I work.

However in the foreground is my laptop with a picture of my son and I on the boat in a fine June day with blue sky and dolphins jumping in the background.

Roll on the Spring.

The sun glistening off the snow on Brimond Hill and the planes landing and taking off from Aberdeen airport (one just landed as I type)

Beats working !

I can see panning from right to left:

A mothballed carrier, Mirabella's mast, the Victory, the Warrior, the Spinnaker Tower. The day has been bright and windy, though clouds moving in now.

The water looks that cold grey blue of winter - but very inviting.

Now why am I sitting here in front of this screen!

Being paranoid simply means - having all the facts.
 
.. I can see a blokey in the car park replacing the cracked windscreen in my car. Either that, or he's a quite sophisticated car thief...

To the east, snow dusting the Bowland Fells and to the west, a dark, threatening cloud bank building up in the Irish Sea.

From the upstairs bay window I can see the whole majestic panorama of the Solent with the sun going gently down in the red mist of evening. The spire of Ryde church stands proudly against the glowering backdrop of a winter sky as the ferries ply their way onward onward into the dusk.....
From the downstairs back window I can see the little bastards from the council estate have knocked holes in my fence again......

Snow flakes drift down on to the rolling hills of Easter Ross (@ home with Tonsilitis... again...... please don't ask me to speak..) The Skeletal trees are etched out against the hill sides. The sky is ice blue and accross it sail slate snow clouds laced with rose. I think of Seun and see in the flames of my living room fire the Western Isles....
 
Turn to the left and look thru the glass frontage of the office across the tarmac to the grass verge opposite, littered with fly tipped carpet and furniture. The police van is just leaving having raided the unit next door for illegals.

Roll on the break clause in my lease!!!

At least my PC has this as it's wallpaper.

Dark clouds arise from where, but moments ago, the sun descended in fiery, golden splendour, behind the stark complexity of chilled naked woodland. A lithe gray squirrel, skips along the fence top, with malign designs on my nuts.

The delighted shepherds turn for home to dread the dawn.

From my office window, the tree-lined recreation ground with the War Memeorial to the fore, festooned with poppies of rememberance; to the left the early 70's fire station and to the right a stupid mini roundabout which, with the newly installed traffic lights, has helped to completely clog up the town. Behind that is a not unattractive but wholly achitecturally inappropriate new develpment of flats and shops nicknamed "Schloss Colditz". From the office kitchen window there is the most beaultiful cloudscape and a pretty reasonable sunset shaping up over the Isle of Purbeck.

Could be a lot worse :-)
