I’m not very good at settling down and cracking on with some work when there are distractions around, I just can’t shut out background noise very easily and other peoples phone conversations derail my train of thought. So a couple of weeks ago Joe and I hauled some furniture around and made me a little private space, the box room is now my office, my very own padded cell: I’ve got a pen tidy, a pot plant and an angel-poise lamp, my books on the book case and of a pair of binoculars and the camera, you see my new ‘office’ has a view over the pond, it’s a bit of a distraction. I can watch the heron basking (and panting) in the sun.
as I looked on, it stalked the edge of the pond and then made a dramatic ‘belly flop’ dive into the centre of the pond, I missed the shot,
but I’ll be ready next time.
I would be more than happy in such an office if I had a view like that!
I also think that with binoculars and camera to hand I’d not get a lot of work done! xx
Every woman needs ‘a room of one’s own’ and I’m delighted to hear that you have one at last. I don’t know how you’ve managed without for all this time. I have a room that is pretty much my own office, but … the computer doesn’t work so what use is that?!!! Otherwise it was just like yours with a pot plant, a bookcase and a view of the pond. Heaven!
The difference is I now have to share on a daily basis; I’d get yourself an IT man to fix that PC problem
