Using Google Earth as a reminder. How lazy are you?

[wildcat45]

The builders have been gone about three years now. Nice blokes, they did a great job and took most of the mess away. As they were leaving, all those years ago they remembered they had left some boarding at the back of the house. Four roughy meter square bits of the sort of stuff false walls are made of.

"Don't worry, I'll take them to the tip" I said. And waved them off.

The seasons came and went, several times and the boards, stood by the shed.

The other day I was bored and was farting on with Google Earth. I zoomed in on my house picking out details like which car was on the drive and there I spotted them, bold as brass, those boards.

They had been there so long they were a feature on bloody Google Earth.

The next morning I put them in the car and took them to the dump. It was no more than a 20 minute jjob made worse by the fact the things were a bit mushy after a year or two outside so I had to clean the bits out of the car. Still only took 20 minutes

How bloody lazy of me!

Anyone care to beat my level of indolence?

Lazy or forgetful?

[wildcat45]

Oh lazy.

I'm so lazy I don't want to download Google Earth to look at my house.

I was going to look to see if the current view has my redundant car in the pic.

Street View?

It rests in the back garden where even Streetview won't venture.

Just flick to satellite view on google maps, no download required and gives you google earth

[iva cosworth]

Thanks for that.

Couldn't see a date on the Earth view but the old Ford is in the pic.

The Streetview pic was from October 2014.

It's hard to work out but the rubbish in question is the white square thing.

:-)

But what's the round thing in the bottom of the shot? Any ideas? It's really mundane but worth a guess.

What am I looking at here?

It's like one of those "magic eye" things from a few years back. Could never see them either.

Giant Tortoise? Thought those were illegal.

Some houses in another part of my town seem sort of 3D. Upset my rubbish pile is not 3D

There's a coal bag in my back garden which is half full of weeds and stuff from when i cleared the back garden up one day. It's been there that long that the weeds started sprouting again, the bag started to deteriorate and fall apart so i put it into another coal bag then left it in the same place, the weeds have now started sprouting again and i'll probably need to put it into another bag. It's been there 2 maybe 3 years, I've been to the dump at least a dozen times and each time only remembered about it when I've got back and cant be arsed going back again for just 1 bag.
