Now look me straight in the eye and tell me you didn't pose your desk for the photo?
Can you tell me what the picture of the bridge is please? Is it a photo ?
Oh, and your backcloth I forgot to mention before is very Thai in its design.
Save me a chip please :-)
Hehe - I did make the cup of tea and put @adetorrent on the laptop :) but otherwise it's pretty much what it looks like most of the time. I even refrained from moving the pile of obsolete (work) papers.
The picture is a digital photograph that's been edited to look like a painting. It was done by a local guy who had a little exhibition near where I had the bookshop. It's quite delicate, you have to keep it out of direct sunlight.
It's actually moorings for a boat in a river, I believe in Suffolk, but I can't remember. I bought it because, for many years, my mum had a boat on very similar moorings (ramshackle and held together mainly with willpower) on the River Stour in Kent. She loved it out there, about twelve of them were moored alongside land belonging to Pfizer's, other people lived on their boats. They had a long court battle to keep the moorings (and the little gardens that everyone had made), but Pfizer's won in the end. It was treacherous - you either had to flounder through mud up to your knees at low-tide or swim to the boat at high tide!
The cloth is best IKEA from exotic Coventry :)
