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.
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.
Can I hire your services and that of your penny whistle this xmas....
the journey has to start somewhere....
I know....I was just being silly...
Yes yes of course I remember Lino we had some down .. I did wonder if that's what you meant but taking things literally! The piano thing was a pianola I think. But the linoleum just sounded like it should be an instrument! And it sounds like harmonium!!
It's a joke! Linoleum - lino. I used to play on the lino. Don't tell me I'm the only one who remembers what that is
What sound does a linoleum make when you play it?
Is that the piano you put music scrolls, then pedal and steel reads the notches of the scroll and it plays the piano? My godmother had one of those. My sister and I thought it was magic.
When I was a kid, I used to play on the linoleum...
