"Have you weighed this desk up?" she asks.
"How do you mean?"
"Well... The chair's been lowered so that you can't see him when he's sat at his desk. Then there's all the piles of stuff in boxes arranged around it. And look at the stuff on here!"
It's true. He's even got the pot plants in various stages of propagation. Not to mention a dibber, a trowel and a ball of green twine.
What we have here is an in-office garden shed.
All he needs is the kettle on a gas ring.

Reminds me of Robert Frost's Poem "Mending Wall":

last line: "He says again: 'Good fences make good neighbors.'

I suspect him of being a plant.
Where is he?
Britta: :-)
Madame DeF: ah...
Pat: nil desp. he's spent most of the week working with nurseries and playgroups.
Do you have any pictures of his "desk" to share with us?
In my experience of the workplace, the more 'shed like' the desk, the more technical the worker. I wish my desk was more shed like!

Happy Frog & You: he'll like "technical!"
