feeling listless

Architecture Although I love the design of this bay window, it's hardly the sort of thing you could have in the city. I wouldn't want my tea time to become a spectator sport. Many of the old Georgian houses in our area have raised bay windows which back onto the street and more often than not the curtains are open. You can't help glimpsing in at these other lives, all warm fireplaces and studies with pianos, but at the same time you know you're breaking into their privacy. It's not a problem I have with my flat up here in the clouds.
