A couple of years ago,
passing through Ashbourne in Derbyshire we spotted an old school desk for sale,
which we bought for my wife to up-cycle and use as a sewing or craft table and
though as yet un-elevated it has served well as a perch for the sewing machine
and more recently for the lap top computer when a more extended session is required,
like today when inclement weather kept me indoors; it makes for an anachronistic
combination as a computer was science fiction when I first sat at such a desk,
dipping my pen nib into the inkwell and scratching out sums in pounds shillings
and pence, or miles furlongs chains yards feet and inches, or tons
hundredweights quarters stones pounds and ounces.
