Yes, you can chew them for hours and hours and the flavour just lasts and lasts.

You know what I mean.

(P.S. The flavor is not good. Rather latex-y.)

"Neither desks for attics should be tidy." can't seem to recall just which fictional character from just which volume of just which series by just which author, said that, but I've always liked it.

Oh... and i've always tried to live up to it as well.

A situation that's supposedly in flux but some items there that have been waiting to be dealt with for a long time. Most glaringly a cassette tape with an interview I did with Brid O Donohue for the C&F newsletter which I promised Dale to be ready by christmas 2005. To the left of the table a box with the last 60 copies or so of They'll be good yet, a reprint due soon. In the same stack, posters for the CD, a box of padded envelopes to send CDs in, loads of envelopes and empty carboard boxes tha tmay or may not come in handy when re-used one day, unsorted paperwork and a knot of USB and other cables.

On the table a cup of tea, a few whistles, a batch of photographs printed on order yesterday that are part of a batch sent off today on CD to a publisher. More USB and other cables, pieces of paper with scribbles on them that have long since become incomprehensible.

Over the table, a fiddle, a picture of piper Tommy Reck, a shelf with an 18th century bottle that came out of the ground, a Belleek Uilleann piper, a vase with the whistles and a concertinacase.

Too much of a mess to begin to describe... suffice it to say that my desk is my work space.

Yup, we can haul the thing to the toilet with us if we want.

Guess what? No, never mind.

Very very colorful JES!
And Slood--why did I know you'd be a tidy bugger?

That monitor's far too low. You'd fail a health and safety assessment...

As far as a health and safety assessment, I am afraid that the level of the monitor is the least of my worries.

Heh. Only 'cause my wife insists. The state of "my room" (where I keep all my hiking gear, musical instruments and other stuff) is another matter entirely. It's the one room in the house in which my natural disorganized packrat tendencies are allowed to flourish.

(At the moment, however, "my room" is the neatest in the house. It's completely empty, waiting for me to put down the new flooring.)
