I thought I'd post some photos, because I've just recently acquired a new desk, and I like it very VERY much, and I just have to share (well, I don't HAVE to, but I'm GOING to):
First, though - here's a shot of Mo bird being all snuggly-like:

Now, here's the previous computer desk/hutch I had:

and, another shot, where my tribute to "The Office" is apparent:

We were offering that free to anyone in our area who wanted it - the only condition was you had to come and collect it y'self, but Graham has since decided that he wants it for sommat or other, so it's off the market, so to speak. :)
And now, a look at the new desk being constructed by my able husband:
Putting the pieces together:

Starting to look like something:

and, the finished product:

Here are the shots of my workspace, all put-together-like - including my painting table. You'll notice some work-in-progress on the new desk, as well as a glass of Cotes du Rhone - which I have since finished and am now on the second of said wine (which is really only 1/2 a glass, because I'm sharing it with my beloved, and there's only about 3 of those sized glasses in a bottle). On the left hand side of the pic of my new desk (the one with the booze apparent), you'll notice my statuette of "Faery Bride", which I started painting, but have not finished - also, on top of the hutch of the new desk is Wendy Feldmann's "Epona" faerie art doll, which I adore, and is therefore in a place of honour watching over all my artistic endeavours, as well as the car of my dreams on the other end of the hutch - a Jaguar:

There...that's what my environment looks like!
In other news...Sebastiani has established itself as a reliable wine source, as far as myself and Sir (my hubby) are concerned. We've sampled their Merlot earlier this evening, and I don't think those folks can do any wrong by the grapes!
My friend, Donna, recommended a venture out to Raffaldini Vineyards, a local winery - we've not been, but I think we might start incorporating some winery visits into our weekends. The thing is, we're both fairly anti-post-drink-driving (even the small amounts injested at wine-tastings), so we'd have to take turns on the local wine-sipping trips!
G'night all!
