Welcome to the weekly sharing of desks which is WOYWW (What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday?), the brainchild of Julia, who kindly entrusted it to me to continue after the first 15 years of togetherness. Please feel free to link up your desk and visit others' - we are a friendly bunch.
I have been 'enjoying' the Euro 2025 Women's Football with Eva if you can call it that. We watched the quarter finals and semi finals together but I only managed to watch the second half of the final and extra time, as I was over at Mum's for a family meal when it started. I couldn't bear to watch the penalty shoot out, so tuned in later for the result. An amazing team effort!!!
I hope the cooler weather is a bit better for everyone. Just need a little less rain now lol.
Stay safe and Happy WOYWW.

I don't know a thing about recorders but I do recognise that this is "the business". It looks beautiful. You seem very happy with it, good idea to buy yourself this for your birthday and 'happy birthday' when the time comes,
Yes, the ladies did us proud and I think it must have been wonderful to celebrate with them yesterday in London.

well done on nearly catching up with the daily art. Your new recorder looks great, I hope you enjoy it! I watched some of the women's football, although the penalty shoot out was a bit ...eek! Happy WOYWW Helen
Off to take Darling Daughter to Salisbury for a bra fitting so a quick stop to say Go Lady Lions! And yay to sketch catch up. Never played recorder myself so not much to say on that except if it makes you happy, well yay for that too!
Happy WOYWW.

Wow, that's a lovely recorder, glad you were able to treat yourself. Had no idea that they needed to be 'played in'. Isn't the Cherry a lovely timber. I love that you're relaxing into retirement...by September you'll be as busy as ever without having to go to work!
What a beautiful recorder....I hope you will get much pleasure out of using it. I'm glad youre enjoying your retirememt too.

I bet that cherry wood recorder sounds- and feels beautiful. A lovely thing to treat yourself too - hours of pleasure and relaxation to be had.😃x x Jo 🌈
That looks like a lovely instrument. Congrats on catching up with the sketches - loved the chaos! Happy WOYWW!
The recorder looks fabulous and great to see the drawings up to date, love the owl. Well that's the most I've heard of the football it's not my thing at all. We still need rain down here in the south but the cooler temperatures are certainly great for me. So glad you are learning to relax. Hugs BJ#8

Your new recorder is a beauty! I am sure it sounds beautiful too. Great drawings this week. Happy WOYWW. Angela #10
Wow what a beautiful musical instrument - the cherry wood looks stunning - a beautiful treat for your birthday. Great to see you have caught up with your daily art and that you haven't given up :) Does this mean your shoulder is feeling much better too? Love the rainbow coloured CND logo!!! P xx
Hello Sarah, love your new recorder. It's a beauty. It's years since I played but today I've been remembering just how awful the school orchestra made the instrument sound during practice. Good to see your catching up and that you're getting used to the 'retirement business'. I discovered when I retired that there's a lot of truth in the old adage, 'how did I ever find time to work'! Oh, and like you, I can't bear to watch penalty shoot outs! The agony of it!!! Have a wonderful week. Elizabeth x #14
Love that you're back to sketches again. I had to giggle at the chaos. Looks way too neat for my desk. LOL
You'll get the hang of this retirement thing, I promise. Soon you'll not understand how you ever worked full time. You'll be so busy.
Creative Blessings & Hugs! ~ Kelly #15
Such a gorgeous recorder! Sounds like you will have a lot of fun with it! Good for you for keeping up with your drawings. The one that catches my eye today is the Heavy Metal, since we just lost Ozzy😢. Keep on enjoying retirement! Have a wonderful week, Lindart #16
Your new recorder really is a thing of beauty and glad you are enjoying playing it. Happy crafting. Catriona
I’m so glad you’re enjoying the recorder group so much, that is a beautiful instrument you’ve bought, bet the tone is stunning! Retirement is going to be great for you, I just love being a free agent!

I love your new recorder and it looks like it would have a lovely tone. Does the bend make it easier to reach the far away holes? That was always my problem with my tenor I sent you. Your dedication to your daily watercolour is impressive.
I enjoyed seeing the penalty shootout, especially the last England one.
Enjoy your retirement ,
Happy WOYWW
