feeling listless

Architecture The flats were I live are in the process of being renovated -- next year we're going to be moved into a different block temporarily during the building work and at the end our thirty-year old block should be as good as new. We had the option of demolishing but the residents on-mass decided they like the views of the park too much. The people of the New Town of Sligo in Ireland chose to knock their old homes down and create a new community, hopefully wiping out the problems of the past.
