God this desk is a mess!
A computer screen, a lap top on top of a
lap top - I guess that’s a laptop top – a printer, an empty t-pot, an empty cup
of tea – I guess that’s a no-tea cup – my watch! (I wondered where that was), a
cable to connect the laptop below the laptop to the screen behind the
laptops…..
I think you begin to see the picture.
I don’t, because one of the laptops has a
screen that doesn’t work, and the screen is connected to a computer UNDER the
desk, that doesn’t have an Internet connection and I’m trying to Skype my
daughter with the broken screen laptop, which does (have an internet
connection).
Though I can’t see that either ‘cos it’s Wi-Fi
and that’s invisible.
I think.
My glasses case is on the desk, but not the
glasses ‘cos there on my head. There’s a pen – my favourite.
My cat’s head is on my keyboard, so he’s
kinda on the desk too.
And he’s black.
There’s a tube map of London, not sure why
and an appointment slip for a doctor’s visit on the 11th of January
at 17.30 but I don’t know if that’s NEXT January or the one gone. The fact that
it’s on the desk suggests…. I don’t know WHAT it suggests other than that this
desk is a mess!
There is a pile of self recorded DVDs –
unlabelled, so I have to play them to find out what’s on them.
I think I was
intending to label them, that’s why they are there.
There’s the wrapper from n orange, or was
it a lemon? It will be on the blog soon.
Two checks, I must pay them in, an unopened
packet of tissues with a picture of someone who shares a name with my daughter-
whom I’m unable to Skype, but miss.
A pink pencil, a yellow marker and a silver
usb key that I don’t recognise.
A pen that looks like a black cat – not to
be confused with the real black cat that looks nothing like a pen.
A hand written note that says “flour, cumin
seeds, tarragon, goat’s cheese, preserved lemon and something I can’t read that
might turn out to be a key ingredient.
Incidentally – I read yesterday in a
magazine that is NOT on the desk – it’s on the floor nearby – that a particular
TV character is an ‘acquired taste, like cumin.’
That’s quite an interesting description,
no?
Ok, what else?
An unopened print ink cartridge thingy –
boring.
A drumstick
- undrummed but interesting.
A screwed up tissue with raisin attached –
yuk!
Whose desk is this?! They are a pig!!!!
An empty cheque book- illustrative of
either healthy financial activity or an equally empty bank account.
A plane timetable – I FOUND IT!!!!!!
Now I know what time to get to the airport
to bring you home…
There’s a necklace – that’s not mine….
Another hand written list – ‘Bouillon, cat
food, tuna, sweet corn, anchovies, butter, Perrier and eggs’ – I’m NOT eating
that ok?
Another orange wrapper – I have a
collection.
Two unwritten postcards, they might have to
do for Christmas at this rate….
An empty tin of olives, washed, with a
question mark shaped piece of dried grass – just to remind me.
A note pad – with notes.
One says ‘stay of execution’.
I don’t know……
A book called ‘writers block’.
It’s in the shape of a bloc, nice.
But who needs it?
Not when you have a desk, and your desk is
a mess.
