Alice prescribed a bit of buffing, so I've done my desk today, taking everything off to give it a thorough dust and polish, admiring the sheen, and then - sorry DP - putting most things back.
We've talked about desks before and I've said that while mine is always pretty tidy, it is also always well populated with 'stuff' - the essential, the decorative, and bits and pieces to which I have a sentimental attachment. These features of the working landscape (which change from time to time) don't get in the way or distract me, but seeing that clear expanse of oak and leather may just prompt a further edit.
