The tree outside my bedroom window was cut down today, giving me an almost uninterrupted view to the horizon. I wish they'd fix the Nylex Clock (on silo at left).

ReplyDeleteWhy was the tree cut down?
I have spent two months walking past that clock, more-or-less twice daily, following the river from South Yarra to the CBD (and back again). Sigh. Nostalgia. Ghosts of MICFs past.
ReplyDeleteHi Julie. It's facing east so I will get more morning sun. It probably won't make a huge amount of difference heat-wise, except on really, really hot days. The owner of the building cut down two trees in the yard to prevent possums getting into the ceiling. We had a rather unpleasant incident late last year involving a long-deceased possum in the ceiling....*shudders*
ReplyDeleteHey Dom. I've spent 5 years doing that. It's a very pleasant walk.
