What is design? New post.

functionless design

Decision taken!

I went around the block, and drew quite a few people into my musings, which I tend to do (personal failing) but I like to think out loud and canvass opinions. I have reached a decision: in the second half of 2022, I am renovating my apartment. Not a minor kitchen tidy up, but a full 500-pound gorilla of a renovation. All finishes on all surfaces, new kitchen, new bathroom, and joinery everywhere. It feels great to make the decision to put down roots, and invest for the long haul: therefore, I will continue to have two car spaces (not important for anyone but me - but it means I can either keep the midlife-crisis convertible or get rid of it and have a visitor space); AND I will continue to live with my million dollar view.

This view is not quite as expansive as the one shown above, but it is pretty good. It is great to have a personal capital works project in the pipeline, one that I will live with for many years to come.
