I should tidy my desk more often

I have decided to only leave things out on my desk that make me feel happy. Therefore, my desk contains the following:

1. A review copy of the new Tori Amos album (note: it is not the album itself that is making me happy, just the fact that I have a review copy of it).

2. A notice of payment from The Guardian into my bank account. For words that I wrote. Out of my brain and everything.

3. A BBC visitors pass. This makes me happy because it reminds me that I got to jump a very long queue to get in to see Just A Minute.

4. A Jo Malone box. I keep the bath oils and perfume in my bathroom and bedroom, but the box reminds me that things that smell very nice make me extremely happy. Especially Pomegranate Noir.

5. Gig tickets. I have Tori Amos, Placebo, Michael Franti & Spearhead and Alela Diane all up and coming. Nice.

6. My cat.
