Take a peek out your window

    Take a peek out your window and say what you see!

    Hopefully this will enable us to see through the eyes of other boardsies, and by doing so negate the need for holidays this year (make those of us who cant go feel a lil better anyway :D)

    I'll kick off - and this is very unexciting but I hope to read better - I see rosebushes coming up under the windowsill followed by a bit if lawn then a stone wall lined with daffodils.
    Then fields, fields, fields and more fields all with stone walls, no hedgerows.
    Fields are full of cows and calfs and sheep and lambs (who'd have thunk it) but best of all, beyond all this lies Croagh Patrick 18 miles in the distance as the crow flies and looking majestic as ever.

    The window at work is too far away but from a distance I can see a wall.

    I'm after misreading the thread title and have been sent home early from work for pissing out a window.

    A car park and a bit of a school out the front. Out the back, a 15ftx15ft cement yard, the neighbour's 15ftx15ft cement yard, and the back of the neighbour's house.

    Exciting stuff.

    I don't have a window in my office - just four walls, a door and two strip lights.

    Crazy auld lads house, nice house with a wall of windows, train-tracks, fields, tractor and a cat.

    the sun is blinding me at the moment, but all I would see is more buildings, traffic and people

    Squirrels and birds eating the stale bagels I threw out the other day.

    Nothing but blue.

    FFS. No sooner do I peek outside than some chap comes up to the door looking for directions to some place I've never heard of. That's enough of that lark for me *boards up windows*


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,462 ✭✭✭MaybeLogic


    Palm trees, the Med and people frolicking on the beach.

    I see trees of green, dead roses too
    I see them bloom for me and you
    And I think to myself what a wonderful world.

    I see skies of blue and clouds of white
    The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
    And I think to myself what a wonderful world.

    The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
    Are also on the faces of people going by
    I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do
    They're really saying I love you.

    I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
    They'll learn much more than I'll never know
    And I think to myself what a wonderful world
    Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world.

    ...........and another feckin cat

    A lawn with a huge oak tree at one side with a rubber tyre swing and bird feeders hanging off it and the two pidgeons who live in it. Daffodils here and there in the lawn under it. A weeping willow at the other side, an old stone rockery with purple heathers and primroses, a row of shrubs and trees, another rockery. Beyond it, a country lane. It's out in the sticks and I love it.

    A row of satellite dishes with houses attached to them. All shrouded in the unique kind of grim drabness that exists only in the Midlands.

    I wish I hadn't looked out now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,605 ✭✭✭Fizman


    Looking out the window right now, I just saw a Magpie dealing two lines (worms) to another Magpie. Not sure whether or not to call the cops. Sh1t has crept into this estate man. Used to be a nice place. Two kids playing just beside them too. Ffs man.

    The guy on the other side of the street watching telly. Riveting.

    You didn't even need to tell us that. One look at your location and it is quite evident you are not in a pretty place.

    Schoolgirls walking down the footpath.

    A man waving his fist at me.

    *forgot, I'm naked*

    He's on the phone now standing in front of the girls pointing at my window.
