Hello Everyone,
Happy WOYWW to you all.
Not much has changed on my workdesk since I last posted two weeks ago. I'm still working on alterations - a pair of pyjama bottoms this time. I missed posting last week and for good reason. I woke in the early hours of last Wednesday to find a flood in the bathroom, The water was coming from the flat above. The next few days were spent mopping up and trying to get the leak stopped. Not easy when your neighbour is out and his flat can't be accessed. It was Saturday before the plumbers were able to get in and stop the leak.
Usually I show my workdesk, first photo, because it's where I make scrap pages but today I thought I'd also show you this lovely desk. The one where I store the laptop. And where I now plan to type up these blogposts. This was Alan's writing desk and until last week was just tucked away in a corner of the main bedroom. Recently, though, I decided that I wasn't making enough use of the living room. In fact, except when I had visitors, I rarely spent time in there. The cat spent more time snoozing on the sofa than I did sitting on it!
This room is front facing and looks out on to a very small garden area, much neglected until recently. There's a privet hedge screening it from the road which, because it's a well-known shortcut to the beach, can often be very busy. It's also on the shady side of the building. Nice when it's been as hot as it has been this week, but not when the weather is, as it so often is here, not so fair. Indeed, today the temperature has dropped by 10 degrees, it's grey and overcast above and rain is forecast shortly.
It's been a few years since I could do this, but at last I'm able to pick flowers from the garden and fill a vase. Just nasturtiums and cornflowers for now but I'm delighted!
I'm also delighted to see that Annie's Rose is in bloom, joining Alan's Rose and the Douglas Rose. Lovely!
Silver is never far from me, Here she is on the sofa hoping for some fall-out from my lunchtime snack.
And finally, a few funnies.
Obviously AI generated but this 'Blowin 737' cracked me up.

Silver has obviously attended the Kitten School!

How lovely that you’ll be using Alan’s desk more often now, it’s a beauty and you get the view of your front garden too. Lovely to see your blooms in a vase and that the roses are doing well. Good job in repairing your PJ bottoms, I do admire to a wry smile when i read about how make do and mend is trendy again. What on earth did our mothers and grandmothers do eh?

Beautiful flowers and lovely to pick your own. Beautiful desk too. Awful about the leak in the upstairs flat, I hope there is no permanent damage. Happy WOYWW. Angela #13
What a pain for you to have to sort out that leak. I hope it's not caused too much damage for you to put right. I love the thought of you sitting, working at Allan's desk. A great idea. Those.nasturtiums are fab - gorgeous colour and beautiful rose too x x Jo 🌈
That is a real pain especially when you can't get into the place to fix the problem. Hope it's not caused any damage. Love the funnies, they should have a real plane like that. We had some rain earlier but not enough and the sun has come out again but not too warm thank goodness. Wishing you a very happy woyww with hugs Angela x9x
More positive changes in your life and that’s always good to fear. Your flowers are gorgeous.
Hugs, Annie x #12
That's a very nice desk, and will be perfect for your blog writing! I am sure Alan would be thrilled it is still being used. the flowers from your garden look gorgeous, so bright! what a nightmare about the leak though, hope it didn't cause too much damage. HappyWOYWW Helen #2
Knee was OK today thank goodness and oh so much cooler too and a spot of rain too - perfect. Glad you've earmarked a hanger for your LOs it is lovely hanging them up for a while. Or you could hang any others up too whatever takes your fancy. Love that you are using Alan's writing desk for your laptop, 'twill make it a special place indeed. Lovely vase of flowers such vibrant colours. Hugs Bj#7
Gosh, as if you haven’t had enough to deal with, someone else’s leak, and for four days too! I’m sure Alan would love that you are using his desk, and the lounge. It’s funny how we get stuck using our spaces in the same ways. Such lovely flowers, and very funny funnies, have a great day xxx
