Can you see me up there!?
Been a while since my last blog post, so apologies for that! My first post in a while will have to be an idea I saw on a friends Blog fairly recently, but as it's so damn neat, I thought I'd share it too (Cheers Paul!)
Simply point your browser in the direction of Google Maps! Hours of fun can be had (well, kills a few minutes anyway during office boredom!), by bunging in your Post Code and clicking the 'Satellite' button on the right, and hopefully, you'll get a decent satellite image of your street and can zoom in by using the zoom slider on the left. Clicking 'Hybrid' will overlay the street names onto the streets (who'd have thought it!). It's also pretty cool for planning routes too if you (like me) haven't got one of those fancy in car 'Sat-Nav' gadgets and still rely on paper!
The image below shows my street - although I see my car wasn't on the driveway, so I was obviously out at work when the spy satellite shot overhead to take the snaps!

That google maps and google earth are on quite a bit of a lapse you know. I checked out my house on it and our pond aint there... and it was done in 1995 lol
