Day 341: Maximalist

I am slightly overwhelmed by my desk.  Looking left to right, here is an inventory:-

Packet of painkillers (one remains)
Post-it notes (classic pale yellow)
Pile of receipts (dull)
Boîte à Prunes (tin - specifically designed for, but not containing speeding tickets)
Parcel tape (three-pack bargain)
Three-pin to two-pin plug adaptor (Euro-rover)
Missed parcel notice (annoying)
A spaghetti squash (unexpected gift)
A string bag of plastic balls (a ball bag, if you will)
A candle (smells of cedar wood)
A small cigar box containing a false moustache and some spirit gum
Some tracing paper (A4)
A flyer for the Black Garden Tattoo parlour (inky)
A tangle of unmatched clean socks (quite dusty now)
A mug (empty)
A glass carafe filled with loose change (five, two and one pence pieces)
A Filofax (old skool)
A plastic mushroom (don't explain, don't justify)
Booking confirmation for Glastonbury (hooray)
A calculator (Tippexed with my initials)
A compass from the Lost Gardens of Heligan (I am sitting due South East)
Headphones (Sennheiser and big - like Chelsea buns strapped to my swede)
Fortnum & Mason's stilton jar full of pens (thoroughly washed before use)
Scalpel (dangerously sharp)
Atomiser of hippy juice to promote mental clarity (unverified claim)
Garmin Forerunner 305 (the Drill Sergeant)
Stapler (for the pile of receipts)
Various pads liberated from corporate meeting rooms (perks)
A twelve-pack of pocket tissues (snotty)
A pattern for a skirt (one day)
A fleece (practical)
Four bananas (potassium)
An ancient lemon (wise)
Three pairs of sunglasses (optimistic)
A lamp (let there be light)
Five bank statements (filing is not a priority)
A packet of Blu-Tak (for small desk-modelling project - especially snails)
A hagstone (averting evil)
An Ordnance Survey map (so I know where I am)
A water bottle (hydration)
Phone (communication)

I think it's fair to say that I could not be considered 'minimalist'. 

Einstein's desk (see right).  Maximalism justified.  Relax.
