WfH? What's the view from your 'office' window?

Post by Horse »

When in the real office, I used to have (sometimes distracting) view of the entrance to the site, occasionally weird stuff driving in and out.

Since Mid-March the view has been out over the town rooftops, to the castle 2 miles away.

What's your outlook?

Windows are overrated.

I'm in the dining room, which connects to the conservatory, but the blinds are closed. So here's my 'Office' (Dining Room) instead.

When WFH I have the view of a small suburban garden in Suffolk - what did you expect, herds of majestic wildebeest?

That'd be ACE !!!!

My front view is a rather unexciting view of a dozen houses, 1980s built which forms the 'close' in which we live.

The back is a view of a rather larger house and a view up to the Ridgeway.

Herd of them, never scene them.

I'm based from home full-time as my office closed recently. We got a £200 allownace to improve home office conditions so I insualted and refelted the summer house as it already had power. I liberated a chair and some furniture from the office before it all went in the skip and ran some external CAT6 down to here from the house so I'm patched striaght into the main router.

I've got a view out across the neighbours back gardens from the window behind my monitors.

A gas bottle, a fence that needs painting, a hose reel and the back end of a trailer.

Is the lump of stone on the window sill 'important', fossil or summat? Or is your cat unwell?

That's not stone, it's aluminium and it's art:

It's a cast of the inside of a rotten straining post.

I'm not very far from where that is, I can look out the window of my office and see the water that goes past there flowing into the sea.

Today, like most days, I’m in the basement living area, so get this view. The garden is populated with neighbours’ cats, squirrels, pigeons, magpies and tits.

My other office is in the loft, so I have the back of a large Victorian terrace to the left and a beautiful Victorian double fronted house* with two large lion statues on the step pillars (which is the end of another terrace) to the right. Plenty of trees around both front and back even though the city centre is less than a 5 minute walk away :thumbup:

* currently purposed as Buddhist Temple / retreat so I often get to see them in the garden in their orange robes :)

You’re actually seeing famous water from your office.

I've just had a look out the window, I can't actually see the river at the moment, somebody has put a lot of shipping containers between my office and it, I might go to the loo in a minute and have a look at the sea from the window at the top of the stairs, what an exciting afternoon I'm having.
