OK, you’ll never guess. I began Operation New (to me) Desk!
This project entailed cleaning, discarding, and organizing. Three things I’m not good at. Phase One is complete. The old desk is out. The new desk is in.
The new desk is a standing/treadmill desk with no drawers so … problem, right? Because where do I put the stuff I did not discard?
Answer: In the file cabinet that arrived today — well ahead of schedule. My printer is on it right now!
Phase Three will be putting stuff in the drawers and deciding what to do with the left overs…
There is a Phase 3.5 now because I discovered my 20+ year old chair is no longer able to be height adjusted and it’s not the right height any more.
Phase 3.6 is installing the keyboard tray.
I even have writing news. Which is I have officially started Book 3 of my Sinclair Sisters Series and have some research to do, which will be the subject of future posts, I’m sure.
How about you? Do you have any successes to report? Or challenges underway? Let me know in the comments. We can cheer each other on!
And here’s a view from the street. Now, there’s an interesting factoid associated with the listing of these houses. Soho in the mid-twentieth century became associated with London’s musical life, (and other things too, such as the sex industry and good restaurants). In the mid 1970s an outbuilding of 6 Denmark Street was used as a recording studio by none other, wait for it, the Sex Pistols. Some of their graffiti still survive. And the buildings have been recognized in a year which coincides with the 40th anniversary of Punk. Yes, Punk is now an institution, recognized by none less than the British government.
Many terrific, literary-themed goodies are here, including some truly gorgeous Alice in Wonderland items such as this cake stand. I have lustful dreams about this cake stand. Thank goodness I don’t bake and thank goodness it’s out of stock.
