Sunday Five - home work space



I have posted pictures of my desk at home in the past, so here is an update.  I recently started using a new desktop computer, a 24 inch, HP all-in-one.  I moved from Windows 7 to Windows 10.  I am still getting use to the new operating system. My laptop is Windows 10, so I was somewhat familiar with it.  In the process I completely cleaned off the top of my desk at home.  I don't think this had been done in 6 or 7 years.  I was surprised by a couple of things I found, and by what stayed.  Hence five questions about what is on your desk.  

1: What is the oldest thing on your desk? 
2: What is the newest thing on your desk? 
3: Do you have stamps on your desk? 
4: How many ink-pens are on your desk? 
5: What is the prettiest thing on your desk? 

My answers: 
1: What is the oldest thing on your desk?  - a little wood tray, that was in the center drawer of J's mother's desk.  
2: What is the newest thing on your desk? The Computer - though by the time this posts there will be a couple of new peripherals.  
3: Do you have stamps on your desk? Yes, in the blue-and white china box, I still write and mail checks to pay bills (how old fashioned!) 
4: How many ink-pens are on your desk? 14, I was surprised, there were more than I thought.  
5: What is the prettiest thing on your desk? A little burl wood box from France, my back-up wedding ring is in it.
