Just a bit of fun...
In detail (what else?), what do you have on your desk - or wherever it is you sit to do your work?
Here goes for me:
* Pot of pens and pencils (seashore design on the pot)
* 'Wine-glass' tealight holder
* Tall carved wooden candle stick with candle, standing on crocheted doily
* Mini teddy bear wearing a jumper with a snowman design
* LED desk lamp
* Phones - landline and mobile (Sony Xperia)
* Photo of mum, aged about 20
* VW Campervan mug of coffee, on a rose-design coaster
* Headphones (JVC)
* Asus 27" monitor
* Microsoft mouse on recycled tyre mouse-mat (from the Alternative Technology Centre in Wales)
* TalkTalk internet router
* HP Envy 5540 all-in-one printer
* 2 memory sticks
* Gas lighter for candles
* Day-glo yellow highlighter pen
* Packet of salmon Dreamies treats for Daisy
* Microsoft keyboard (photo of Daisy on-screen)
* Shadows
...and here it is, minus the mobile - which I needed to take the photo!
This is a much better view of my lair. I'm learning to play my beautiful bass guitar, only been a few months so I'm pretty hopeless, but getting better. Not expecting miracles.
Hello Spotty Tortoise, another four stringer here. Very nice instrument you have, sort of a MM Stingray. On the point of being "hopeless", some of the greatest bass lines ever recorded just articulate on a very few notes, in some instances no more than 2 or 3 (sometimes even 1...). Imo, bass is rather about knowing when and where playing that special note which will bring the piece alive instead of focusing on excessive technique and demonstrativeness, as it is often the case today, with, for example, the myriad of YouTube supersonic typewriters sort of players.

Tons of things to do and learn and plenty of resources for beginners
Do not give up learning the bass. I wish I could play an instrument
A long time ago I tried to learn the guitar but gave up as I was truly useless.
Later I tried to learn the penny whistle but had to stop because every time I started practising my cats began crying and howling.
Later still I tried to learn the harmonica and managed to get as far as a recognisable (but not very good) Jingle Bells. I am considering trying again with the harmonica.
Why you keeping yourself down sister! Are you expecting others to put you down...,and you're just getting in there first!! I do the same....and I don't take compliments either (on the rare occasion that they happen)....
i love your space....and I love art and anything creative......the beautiful lives in the gaps and chaos of life! We should let it in more often....
