What is on your pc desk right now ?

A PC, or at least the monitor and mouse.
A mug of coffee
A Scrabble dictionary
An ipod
A thermometer, current reading 16C
A book of crosswords
Remotes for TV and freeview
Printer cartridge
A globe I got for Xmas last year.
Medication, and a prescription for more.
A plastic knife fork and spoon I took from Pret last time I went to Nodnol,
for no better reason than I liked the colour.
A replacement light bulb for the sewing machine.
A mug containing pens, scissors and the usual redundant stationery.
One of those buttons from Staples that says " That was easy" when you press
it.
A card for my sister's approaching birthday.
Several packets of seeds.
Several sheets of paper, some of which I may refer to at some point. Or not.
A pad of post-it notes.
2009 calendar.
2010calendar.
Spare bulbs for Xmas tree lights.
A lead, one end of which is USB, the other end fits I know not what, but I
daren't throw it out, I know what will happen if I do.
A stress pig.

I now find I've come to two conclusions -

1 - The desk needs a sort out.
2 - I'm severely sad, either for having this lot on the desk, or for
admitting to it, or for taking the time to list it.

But anyway, thanks for helping me find the bulb for the sewing machine.

Fair enough to ask a question but could you not have made it gardening
related ?

or even, what birds can you see in your garden now from your computer?

For me this morning has brought , Sparrows, Blackbirds, Thrush, Robins,
Starlings, I think a Wren but it moved too fast.

What birds can you see in your garden from your computer?

Chucking it down with rain and a Blackbird takes a very messy bath in the
large bird bath!! Why not? He was already wet!!

A RHS Plant Finder and list of plants we're adding or deleting from it
and 2 empty mugs as a result of that! Thank you letters to be posted,
two piles of paper 'round tuits', a diary and a paperweight, camera,
printer and stationery holder.

Front garden.
The collared doves that have taken the place of blackbirds perching on
my roof and the neighbour's. They are marching up and down his ridge
at the moment.

Two pied wagtail.

I /know/ there is a wren in the undergrwoth, 'cos I saw it this
morning swearing at something or other. But I can't see it now.

A green woodpecker was here earlier, pecking disconsolately at the
lawn. Two brief pecks, then a pause, then two steps left and two
brief pecks, then a shake.

Because on a day like this desks are more interesting than greenhouses and
most of the members have a very good sense of humor, so I am not going to
say sorry :-)

No reason why you should. It certainly hasn't been a gardening day
here today, nor indeed for quite a few. It's poured with rain for most
of today and a wheelbarrow I used to bring logs in a few days ago had
several inches in it when I used it for the same purpose tonight.
Water is lying on the big lawn which obviously can't soak up any more.
If it was snow we'd be unable yo get in and out of the house!

I will refrain from answering your question exactly - but will qualify it
with the plants premise.

Penstemon cuttings.
Leeks
Strawberries
Cacti
Fuchsias
X cuttings (name escapes me !)

BTW --- Puter, Hospital id pass and a glass of wine is the answer to
the OPs question.
