tilting at windmills

now THAT's a windmill!

we drove past this windmill yesterday and i fell in love. i believe i've mentioned before how much i want to live in one. i'll bet we could get this one for a song since it's a bit of a fixer-upper. hmm, i wonder whether our architect would approve the purchase?

Is the mill close to your new place?

Maybe the first step should be to adopt your polish guy because if I remember correctly you already have renovationplans for the next ten years. So you need an additional familymember(s)to get the work done.
But I have to admit it would be a great Blue Mill.

Have a great weekend.

i think you could build one from scratch for the cost of renovating that one. but....i bet you could get a deal on the reclaimed wood there.

You would truly have to have the Don Quixote mindset to think you could fix up that one!

Definitely a fixer-upper! Yet, so intriguing!

Crazy pic, did you take it?

PS: Just read your 'about me' -- I love Röyksopp, too. Especially "Happy up here." Totally addicting in a good way.

This is incredibly majestic in its decay.

Yes, Suecae Sounds! majestic decay! That is a very visual description! The cogs inside all tilted, crazy!
