This may seem like a strange image, but it is a caravan that has been brightly painted. It’s in one of our neighbour’s backyards, and serves as an office for them during the day. This is something we both see from our bedrooms and wake up to every morning.
Inside it’s full of the usual workplace paraphernalia, but it makes us smile to see someone’s effort to cheer themselves up on their ‘way’ to work, and in turn giving their neighbours something to look at too.
This got us to thinking. We’ve personally never been one for decorating a personal work space, as in the end we just end up distracting ourselves by what we’ve put up – tidy desk, tidy mind. But we find it interesting to see what other people do; it gives an insight into who they are as a person, especially creatives as they always have something interesting to look at. The little idiosyncrasies and ‘organised’ messes that people have on their desk always give constant sources information, and very often strike up a conversation. For instance we would love to talk to the neighbour who painted their caravan like this! Maybe next Halloween we can knock on their door, and have good chat…
Ta Tar for now.
