On my windowsill you can find...

 Monica asked, so I thought I'd show you.

I have 3 windows in my kitchen. Lots of sill. Lots of junk. Lots of spiky plants - I'm sure that's not good feng shui.

Window 1. The metal gizmo is the blade from my stick blender. And the figure is hubby's wizard. I don't really like him - he stares at my kitchen slovenliness in a horrified way and it really ticks me off.

Although, seeing this junk on Windowsill number 2, I appreciate his expression may have a point. Yeast from my last baking session, leaf gelatine used last week, garlic pot (with broken top) and aquilegia seeds in an envelope harvested last Autumn.  Note to self - put tidy kitchen on the 'to-do' list.
Bananas live here semi-permanently, because I heard you mustn't keep them with other fruit as the ethylene they release makes other fruit go off faster. Spiky plant number 3.

This is the  third windowsill that, in theory, holds the frequently changing, tastefully grouped, seasonal display. Ha ha ha ha ha (barely concealed hysteria). I suppose conkers ARE seasonal (just not this season). And the recent Johnny-art is at least of the moment.

Sometimes, taking photos of things really makes you see them. Time to  haul myself away from the screen, head for the aforementioned kitchen and do some clearing up. In my next life, I'd like to come back as an obsessively tidy person. Preferably with a cleaning lady.
