I've always found it ridiculous that rising housing prices are celebrated by much of the media & falling prices are seen as a bad thing

After years of watching friends work twice as hard as their parents for a similar home & forgoing having kids they wanted

Let prices fall

- Reading the Political Declaration, then, Jim?
- Aye, Border
- I was thinking the only thing the UK really got was an end to free movement
- Yes, Border. And quite right too
- I knew you'd like that bit, because you said you were going to Leave but you haven't moved in two years

The story of Australia’s landscape is written in the layers. You can't make predictions based on short term processes. The evidence-based proof is in the sediments, deposited and accumulated over time and space for millions of years. Time to stop tap-dancing & start the waltz!

@Piers_Taylor Seen in St. Moritz. Not a cat flap, but by far my favourite cat access solution. (unfortunately no cat for scale)

[Russell Curtis @russellcurtis]

Arguments about style are uninteresting; let's leave that to the old white men. What should concern us is quality. Buildings are either good, bad or somewhere in between. This applies whether "traditional" or "modern"—labels which are surely now entirely redundant.

This is one of the most encouraging things I've watched in a while. I've long felt that the solution to Australian agriculture is through revegetation and rehabilitation of watercourses. @MulloonInstitut @PeterAndrewsOAM #naturalsequencefarming

Vale Kerry Hill. A bloody good architect, a raconteur of the highest order and an excellent fellow. If I'm even a half decent architect, it's down to you. Thank you for everything.

Letter of the Week in the FT: “Never in over 50 years of working life, have I seen the UK facing such an abject future, caused by the complete failure of our political establishment to govern...” #brexit #PeoplesVote #GovernmentOfNationalUnity

@thombrisco The exception not the rule, even outside London, no?

RIP Neave Brown. Feisty, fearless and a staunch defender of social housing until the end. "I didn’t think I was designing social housing, but just housing. Good London housing.” https://t.co/fe9yYx1Ja2

Dear Australia, I am back in you. Your queen is home. You may now sleep easy.

Deer population is controlled by releasing wolves into an area. All problems should be solved that way. Too much pollution? Release wolves in factories. Dislike Congress? Wolves. Wanna lose weight? That's right, wolves.
