OK, that’s it! The Home-office, like the dodo, is now extinct. Only the fittest survive, and the old black-ash furniture won’t fit with our new plans. Hats off to Bob, our local carpenter, who custom built all the office furniture (desks, bookcases, printer stations and concealed storage) over 20 years ago.
If the furniture was a song (ehh?, I must change my medication), it would probably be ‘I’m Still Standing’ by Elton John. It was in perfect nick when we took it apart (in fact, the floor-to-ceiling bookcase now lives in a neighbour’s garage as shelving for his gardening stuff!) – the rest of it left by skip this morning for its new home in a landfill or as a recycled something.
(and I take it all back about the skip being too large – we nearly exceeded the load-line with all the c*** that came out of the Home-office and the Garage).
With just the tech left in the room (until it finds a new home-within-our-home), we’re now switching into ‘decorating planning mode’ – painting, wall-papering, plumbing, curtains, lighting and furniture.
I love the result of decorating, but I hate the task of decorating – so I think I’ll fly south for the Summer.
Bugger! DoDO’s can’t fly!!!
I got into blogging quite late in life, not publishing my first post until 2004 – well into my 40s! My lifelong love of technology and communication (in all its forms), together with a fondness for the art of writing seemed to be the perfect combination to contribute a few words to the online community. But I’m no Samuel Pepys! If you’re looking for deep and meaningful comments on a variety of subjects, then you’ve arrived at the wrong site! I only pen for pleasure! On average, my posts appear about twice per month, covering family & friends, cinema visits, eating out, holiday experiences and techy stuff. Oh, and as this is my hobby, there are no sponsored links nor adverts here – it’s all done with love!
I hope you find it enjoyable, interesting and occasionally, even helpful!
