Thought for the day.


Why go round a hedge when you can go through it ?




Will shop awnings make a comeback with global warming ? :

A strangely interesting story. Will this New York church ever be finished ? :  https://theprepared.org/features/2019/4/28/building-a-cathedral

Stopping sunshine from hitting windows is a great way to keep interiors cool. We use our shutters in summer. Awnings also work. The link reminded me of why I haven't been to LA.
Cathedral of St. John the Divine is an interesting place, a bit like Barcelona's Sagrada Familia.

Quite an article about LA. And a sign of the times that city planners want to provide shady green places but want to avoid making them too inviting thus encouraging the homeless to loiter and/or settle permanently.
All hell seems to have broken loose over here about the Mueller/Barr conflict. The Chinese dark suits must be keeping your phone busy.

Oz shops are built with an extended roof (awnings). We usually look like we've been through a hedge most days.
