This week, I’ve been so pushed for time that I couldn’t pull together a full entry. Instead, here are a couple of photos.
This first one is my writing area. There are better views from other windows, but it is a great place to stand and observe people and traffic. There is a seat in the room, but it’s not in front of the PC. I prefer to stand while I write.
The second is my bookshelf. I don’t have a TV here, so this is the focus of my living room. I’ve yet to read most of them, but they’re there for when the occasion arises.


Love the photos, Gavin and that is interesting how you stand up to write. How did you get into that habit? I find it hard to stand for long but as well I feel like the best ideas can come whilst stood up or my mind works better sometimes. Love your bookcase and nice to get a window into your world 🙂

Thank you for your comment. It was a pleasure to show folks where and how I work.
The standing-up habit came about after I read articles that suggest sitting down is bad for our collective health: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2016/mar/28/is-a-stand-up-desk-really-healthier. Agatha Christie is said to have stood while writing as well.
And the bookshelf was from T K Maxx. I deliberately don’t own a TV, and I’ve deleted my iPlayer account, so that stands in its place.
