Coming on

Today's view, from the edge of the recreation ground of the flats featured at reference 1. Flats which we now know are to be known as 'Oak View'. One wonders why they did not go for 'Oak Heights', given that 'Heights' seems to be estate agent speak around here for upwardly pretentious. And the recreation ground does rise in their direction, so heights would not be that out of order.

Plenty of what I took to be Polish banter among the builders - which might be a bit intimidating for an English person seeking work there.

In which connection, I notice that in today's Guardian there is a full page advertisement trying to entice Polish people working in our health service to go and work in Gorlitz, a German town on the Lausitzer Neiße, the Neisse bit of the well known Oder-Neisse line. I think the idea is that you are still working in a rich country, while being a good deal nearer home that you could be in the UK.

PS: are rich Germans in Gorlitz buying up their ancestral lands across what is now the border? I seem to recall reading something of the sort.
