WOYWW 843/63: Learning to Relax

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. 

My desk this week shows my latest purchase - an early birthday present to myself.  Last year I bought used descant and treble wooden recorders which are fabulous but I have been contemplating getting this tenor recorder for some time.  It is a Mollenhauer Denner Comfort Knick (bent) tenor recorder in cherry wood.  I am gradually playing it in for no more than 20 minutes a day for the first fortnight so it will be ready for my next recorder group session.  I effortlessly plays up to top D and has a lovely tone.

As you can see, I am back on track with my #dailyart2025, although I still have some of the gaps to go back and fill in.  I have been trying to do at least a couple of drawings each day.  I am starting to get the hang of this retirement business.

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.
