They shouldn't allow things like that! They should be set back further inland so that smaller buildings can get a view .

I have heard similar arguments and my view has also been partly obscured by housing development. The only answer from legal wonks is that you may buy a property but you do not have ownership of the view.
Lots of anger from people who bought houses on a terrace here and find large motorhomes taking up residence in the street outside. Wonder why some people just hate motorhomes?

Ouch.

I don't have a sea view either, but that's because the Alps are in the way.

Nor me There’s 90 miles of country between me and the nearest coast even when the tides in at Hunstanton 😠😠😠

Our 'green' recycling has been missed for a month. It's garden waste and food waste ! It's going to be grim. Self isolating issues.

My 'commute' gear is coming together. Got my shower in a can/packet yesterday - baby wipes and a can of deo.

Well, this is a new one. Microsoft have now decided to give me the local forecast in Hebrew.

They should, as you are in Tel Aviv.
Sorry-

Good morning. Beautiful ride to work this morning although I think the return may be a bit warm.

My colleagues both have the day off today so I'm in charge of the intern and my clients.

Mwahahahaaaa...

Finished for the day. Afternoons are spent working with clients in the second hand shop downstairs, so once my desk is tidy I'll be heading down there...

that's whole topic right there!
late breakfast after my 22 mile commute (but I don't need this much)

I use 2 drawers at work for stuff I bring with my car. 1 drawer is wash-up kit, diluted shampoo & plastic cup for sink rinsing, diluted body wash & was cloth (not baby wipes), 2 small hand towels for hair & body, unscented deodorant (I prefer to sh*t, shower & shave before leaving the house so my sweat is cleaner when I get to the office). also have a very small travel hair dryer, just in case

2nd drawer has work attire (under wear, socks, pants shirt(s)) & lock, & fresh cycling shorts & shirt for the ride home. I store for the day & carry home the used shorts & shirt (from the morning ride) in a plastic bag

how far away is it? how big a bundle is it? can you tie it up w/ rope? I once dragged a big tree branch, as firewood, to a beach party, with a rope behind my bike. attached a light to it so a car wouldn't do a close pass & crash into it, cuz it was nighttime

 

[rockyroller]

I have the day off & it's a gorgeous day! should I got back to bed? only obligation is helping Son retrieve his car from the auto mechanic's shop, at some random time today, then I'm totally free

 

[Reynard]

Cool, breezy and occasionally rainy here chez Casa Reynard.

I did not sleep well and feel really *bleurgh*

The furry girls are curled up on my bed, and I'm working on the writing.

It is almost lunchtime.

A farmer in Aberdeenshire used his pick up truck to tow the bin down to the main road for collection as he was then going on to Thainstone Mart. Once at the main road he put the boot down as usual. Arrived at the Mart with tatters of bin still attached to his truck. The rest of it and contents were scattered over about 10 miles of roadway.
