janewilliams20but it's a problem when you have this many interests. Found so far, to be put away or binned:
Collection of drawstring fasteners from a discarded non-waterproof
Fake Renaissance pearl necklace
Dowsing pendulum
Recipe for chicken chow mein
Assorted notes on how many Weightwatcher points I'd eaten that day (not dated)
To-do list from last weekend, with one item crossed off (and another I can now cross off, having done it during the week)
Leaving card from my last job
Sheet music for "Hen wlad fy nhadau"
Collection of nutritional information inserts from Graze boxes
New X-Acto knife, plus spare blades
Notes for an article on female soldiers in the ACW.
Flyer for Bisley Pavilion
Notebook containing carefully flattened and folded cut-out-and make Duck Point
Lace bookmark
Pepper and salt
Takeaway menu from Zizzi with mysterious URL scribbled on the side.
Miniature highlighter pen
USB card-reader for SD cards
SD cards, in holder (what? the card-reader is near the cards???)
Knitting patterns for 10mm dpns.
Wrapping paper of "new baby" type. (Why?)
Cartoon card about Landrovers
Two random screws
"Happy birthday" card featuring football kit. (I don't know anyone with an interest in football.)
Note on where to get stamp-holders for card-making
A humorous Xmas card, still in cellophane
Two passwords on a Post-it, with no note of what they're a password for
A broken pencil that needs sharpening
Enamel flower pendant I was wearing yesterday
New printer cartridges
Safety pin
"The Long Earth"
Small knitted dragon
Bit of leather, left-over from mending a bag
Three lead miniatures, unpainted
Charger for camera battery
Practice chanter
I can't even see the desk yet, there's still more under there.
I could make a start on putting this lot away. Or I could push it towards the back of the desk (rather like those seaside amusement machines where the coins are pushed into higher and higher stacks until a pile give up their tentative grip on the platform and slide down into the collecting box with a satisfactory "whoosh... rattle, rattle") and go and have breakfast.
