Nothing in particular
Jun. 5th, 2022 10:50 amHad to go into Poole a few weeks back, and took the opportunity to wander up through the Old Town, and to visit what used to be a favourite tea room.
Things seen while walking:
Construction (1). Cranes looming above the buildings of the Old Town, and in the distance new tower blocks rising, concrete skeletons against a sky full of raincloud. Poole continues to pull down all its interesting old buildings, and to replace them with blocks of flats. But not skyscrapers: skyscrapers are a symbol of mad wealth, and that sort of mad wealth is only really found in London.
Construction (2). A van parked on the Quay with the legend "MEH Construction" painted on its side. Unfortunate use of initials, one cannot help thinking.
Construction (3). Walking down the cobbled lane towards the church, saw three scaffolders in bright orange hi-viz waistcoats, one on each level of the scaffolding in front of one of the older houses, joking around & trying to alarm passers-by with loud cries of things like, "Don't undo that, you crazy fool!"
