I should not be allowed to browse on Rightmove.com, or Globrix, or Gumtree or Redtube.
When animals are caged they develop pacing behaviours. When I am caged in an office, tethered to a desk I develop browsing behavior on the internet for the ideal flat.
I should be blocked from all letting agents’ websites.
I am a heinous, time wasting browser.
I see a flat that I can immediately imagine myself living in; I picture myself slobbing around in dusky pink cashmere pyjamas, trailed by a kindle of kittens. I imagine where exactly I would install my fantasy piece of furniture – a pole dancing pole, flanked by antique Venetian mirrors. I imagine bringing my dream man to this perfect dwelling, plying him with wine, before slowly undressing him and laying kittens nose to tail along his naked body and, like a plate spinner on Paul Daniel’s Magic show trying to keep them all purring simultaneously.
All these thoughts flash through my mind as I stare at a blurred, and badly lit photograph of half a doorway, a 50 quid Ikea wardrobe made of corrugated cardboard and a 3 bar electric fire all at a jaunty angle.
In those 30 seconds of pondering my whole future happiness has become dependent on me living in that flat. Suddenly my life cannot go on until I have arranged a viewing.
I ring up.
I book a viewing.
In the thirty seconds it has taken to do this I have changed my mind.
Suddenly I imagine all of the wine I will no longer be able to afford. The bars I will not be able to go to in order to meet the man who I will spread with kittens. The silk ties I won’t be able to hoard, the amount of cashmere pyjamas I will probably need to be wearing as I won’t be able to afford to put the heating on.
I go to bed as two people, on my left side in a cold sweat that I won’t get to live in that flat, on my right side a cold sweat that I will. I have read the same page of The Shining ten times whilst thinking about sofas and it is the bit where Danny is saying RED RUM a lot – and instead of revelling in the horror I am thinking about evenings spent spinning round a pole to Shakira whilst glugging on cocktails.
This week my perfect property was a live/work studio in a huge industrial warehouse. I spent two hours leading up to the viewing imagining the eclectic, battered furniture, huge unpainted canvases, bare pipes, the dappled light through the gaffer taped windows, the deep-thinking, long eyelash’d artists who I would run into on the rusty iron staircase who are pondering just how much they love kittens and women in gasmasks as they toy with a tiramisu.
As I got to the viewing there were two other couples circling the agent predatorily. We eyed each other suspiciously and growled. We had clearly each been having our very separate, personal fantasises about this apartment, had imagined all of the ways our lives would change once we start flushing the toilet of this place rather than the one we currently flush. It’s like getting a new mobile phone and feeling as if a whole new set of people must surely come as a package with the phone that will text
and phone you and invite you to a whole new world of ring tones and buttons configurations.
I look around the various warehouses and I am starry eyed in wonder and love as if Jeremy Clarkson has just walked up to me and handed me six bunches of supercar keys and said, “Here, have my life, I don’t want it anymore.”
It is as I am leaving the industrial yard that reality hits and I realise that I probably wouldn’t even make it up the three flights of external stairs on my first night without being mugged. And what would I do if I even made it home to this vast empty space? I couldn’t then afford wine or food or friends or clothes.
If I met Jeremy Clarkson he too would probably be a massive waste of money with no heating, a funny damp smell and would threaten to kick my back door in all night.
So every agent who I email should get a warning at the end saying, ‘this applicant is a flippertigibbet, a fantasist’ give her a night to toss and turn over this, there will be no viewing, no kittens.
But it is jolly nice to receive those chummy emails updating you on new properties. It’s as if a very thoughtful friend is writing to you, trying to better you, move you forward in life. It certainly makes a change from reading emails from the health and safety department demanding that I take the temperature of all the toilet bowls in the office and put up signs asking employees not to trim their pubic hair over the sink in the kitchen.
This Clio looked well travelled, to say the least. I felt the ornate nature of the house it was parked up at suited the worn out look of the car, so had to include them both! H reg models are seriously uncommon now, I have only seen three in the time since early 2010 now, you would have thought something so popular would have stuck around a little longer....
It was inside this doorway in this building on Goulston Street where Jack the Ripper left a torn bloody piece of Catherine Eddowes's apron underneath some writing in chalk which said "The Juwes are the men that will not be blamed for nothing."
It was discovered by PC Alfred Long at 2:55 AM on the 30th of September. Sir Charles Warren, head of the Metropolitan Police, arrived at 5:30 & ordered the "Juwes" message to be erased immediately. He justified it fearing there would be anti-Semitic riots against the Jewish community. This was a highly controversial decision that is still debated today.
The misspelling of the word "Jews," & Warren's decision to have it erased has fueled so many conspiracy theories, most notably in Stephen Knight's book which implicated the Royals & the Freemasons. It has long since been discredited.

An insight into how people lived and worked in Ireland in the 18th Century. The village is the only one of its kind in Europe.
The village was well researched prior to being recreated.Great care was taken to ensure the dwellings that visitors see before them, are exact replicas of those used in Ireland in the early 1800's. Old sites were visited, old ruins measured, and old documents consulted. 1231 30/10

Butler Wash Ruins
Comb Ridge
Utah
September 2022
Butler Wash Ruin is a cliff dwelling that was built and occupied by the Ancestral Puebloans, sometimes known as Anasazi, in about 1200 AD. Parts of the site has been stabilized and reconstructed, but most of it remains as it was found in the 1800s. There are habitation, storage and ceremonial structures, including four kivas. This ruin is located in a side canyon of Butler Wash, on the east side of Comb Ridge. (BLM)

Stretched out nearly 9100' through Kansas City's industrial West Bottoms district, UP YKS87 11 works west beneath the James St overpass behind a pair of standard cab EMDs on main 1 of Union Pacific's KC Metro Subdivision. Today's edition of this Neff Yard to 18th St Yard transfer job is doing its best impersonation of a road freight with its 151 car train weighing in at 11,000 tons. The cluster of tracks to the left is UP's appropriately named State Line Yard as this location sits right on top of the Kansas/Missouri border.
Pfahlbau Museum of Unteruhldigen, Baden-Wuerttemberg Germany. The buildings which are on stilts are "reconstructions" of dwellings from the Bronze and Stone Age. I think they did a wonderful job and the visit was worth the 7 euro.
I could see some wonderful pictures here sunrise or sunset.

Mesa Verde National Park is a National Park and World Heritage Site located in Montezuma County, Colorado. It protects some of the best preserved Ancestral Puebloan archeological sites in the United States.
The park was created by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1906. It occupies 52,485 acres (21,240 ha) near the Four Corners region of the American Southwest, and with more than 4,300 sites, including 600 cliff dwellings, it is the largest archeological preserve in the US. Mesa Verde (Spanish for "green table") is best known for structures such as Cliff Palace, thought to be the largest cliff dwelling in North America.
Starting c. 7500 BCE, Mesa Verde was seasonally inhabited by a group of nomadic Paleo-Indians known as the Foothills Mountain Complex. The variety of projectile points found in the region indicates they were influenced by surrounding areas, including the Great Basin, the San Juan Basin, and the Rio Grande Valley. Later, Archaic people established semi-permanent rockshelters in and around the mesa. By 1000 BCE, the Basketmaker culture emerged from the local Archaic population, and by 750 CE the Ancestral Puebloans had developed from the Basketmaker culture.
The Mesa Verdeans survived using a combination of hunting, gathering, and subsistence farming of crops such as corn, beans, and squash. They built the mesa's first pueblos sometime after 650, and by the end of the 12th century they began to construct the massive cliff dwellings for which the park is best known. By 1285, following a period of social and environmental instability driven by a series of severe and prolonged droughts, they abandoned the area and moved south to locations in Arizona and New Mexico, including Rio Chama, Pajarito Plateau, and Santa Fe.
This multi-storied ruin, the best-known cliff dwelling in Mesa Verde, is located in the largest alcove in the center of the Great Mesa. It was south- and southwest-facing, providing greater warmth from the sun in the winter. Dating back more than 700 years, the dwelling is constructed of sandstone, wooden beams, and mortar. Many of the rooms were brightly painted. Cliff Palace was home to approximately 125 people, but was likely an important part of a larger community of sixty nearby pueblos, which housed a combined six hundred or more people. With 23 kivas and 150 rooms, Cliff Palace is the largest cliff dwelling in Mesa Verde National Park.
Cliff dwelling. The Anasazi ("Ancient Ones"), thought to be ancestors of the modern Pueblo Indians, inhabited the Four Corners country of southern Utah, southwestern Colorado, northwestern New Mexico, and northern Arizona from about A.D. 200 to A.D. 1300, leaving a heavy accumulation of house remains and debris.
Cavate Dwellings. Native Americans dug these rooms or chambers into the face of a cliff composed of volcanic tuff. The rows of holes in the rock indicate that a pueblo had been built on this site. The chambers dug into the cliff served as additional rooms at the rear of that structure. Note the snake-like petroglyph on the face of the cliff. This village was occupied Native Americans about 500 to 900 years ago. Tsankawi unit. Bandelier National Monument. Las Alamos Co., New Mexico.
Being Dozzet born and bred, i get a strong sense of history walking around. Some scenes you see instantly scream 'Thomas Hardy'. Its not a twee choccy box vision i have of Dorset, because the exploitation suffered by my class, and the hardships endured in the past were very stark. Something that Hardy must to an extent have seen, but did not always portray. He was a bit 'outside looking in'. Nevertheless, the scenery can be attractive. I thought that this Photoshop filter suited the winter scene.

Night shot of the entrance of the Wentworth Dwellings building on Goulston Street where, in the early hours of September 30 1888, Jack the Ripper left a torn piece of apron belonging to Catherine Eddowes underneath some anti-Semitic graffito, which was erased before it could be photographed.
This shot isn't for everyone,but I was experimenting again like I have with similar shots, as I was interested to see if I could get a shot of this doorway at night while its dark.
Its more darker when the fish & chip shop, which occupies this spot, is closed.
i wanted to try this because they didn't photograph the graffito because they had to wait until it was daylight.
Sir Charles Warren, head of the Metropolitan Police, made the decision to erase it as he was concerned about anti-Semitic violence had it been seen by the public. There were anti-Semitic tensions brewing at the time.
I have gotten night shots here, but usually when the fish & chip shop is open & there are lights on. I think I may have also underexposed this shot slightly, just for atmospheric effect.
In 1888, the streets in Whitechapel were not very well lit, & a lot of them were quite dark.

Brhlovce, Slovakia
The complex of rock dwellings squeezed in tuff rocks situated several kilometres east of Levice, in the village BRHLOVCE, is unique in the territory of Slovakia.
The origin of rare rock dwellings in Slovakia is not altogether clear. Some authors associate it with possible hiding places in time of Turkish raids in the 16th century, others link it to the economic activities, particularly wine growing.
Rock dwellings situated in the village part Šurdaare from the 18th and 20th centuries. Some of them are still used for dwelling, others serve aswine cellars.
The exhibition of popular dwelling is situated in a house with its backyard cut into the tuff rocks. It demonstrates the original way of housing in this region. The yard No. 142 was awarded the international recognition Europa Nostra 1993 for conservation and restoring of the architectural monument. The exhibition of popular dwelling is an external exhibition of the Levice-based Tekov Museum.
The backyard number 142 was presented with an international award for the preservation and restoration of the architectural monument Europa Nostra 1993.
May 8, 2023: Manitou Cliff Dwellings, Manitou Springs, Colorado.
Built between 1904-1907, The Manitou Cliff Dwellings is a privately owned tourist attraction with a recreated Anasazi cliff dwelling, museum, and gift shop. Visitors can walk and climb through the recreated cliff dwellings. The cliff dwellings are based on actual examples found in Mesa Verde National Park and similar preserved sites.
The Anasazi, also known as the Ancestral Puebloans, lived in the Four Corners area of the American Southwest from about 1200 BC to AD 1300.
