Apartment living.

My desk at school occupies some of the best real estate in the city.

It is north facing and I have to wear my sunglasses while I work when it's fine sunny. The view is of people arriving for school on ground level, and straight across the street is an apartment building which you can see right into - four bedrooms right on top of eachother (currently three, one person has left their curtains drawn, or is still asleep the lazy sod). The fact that I can see the side of the bed a person got up on, how many duvets they needed, and the position they left the bedding in (and consequently maybe how they slept! oooooh) after getting up is very exciting! Not to mention the fact that someone's most intimate habitat is a mere five metres above the traffic of Vivian street. Bizarre. The music from the brothel must be dam annoying.

Another thing of note: are you sick of the sight of those white clothes horse things (is there a name for the crappy modern ones im talking about that better describes what they look like and doesnt conjure up an image of some really nice carved wooden apparatus for hanging warm towels in an old wooden villa with a claw footed bath?). Every apartment I.....um peer into as I walk past.... has that as the main feature of a bedroom or living room. Right against the window to get the sun.. and the views. Bore. I know its not economic (sustainable) to have a drier and god knows theres no hope of drying shit outside (especially at my new house). But dam that shit is aesthetically unappealing yo! And just really big. Is there a better way?
