Phone
Kindle
Reading glasses
Airpods
Earplugs
HRT
Lip balm

Bit of light hearted fun for a dull Monday evening!

A lamp and a magazine.

SpoonBlender · 12/08/2019 22:27

Really sparse.
Phone and watch chargers
Pair of earplugs I almost never use
The orthopaedic pillow or normal pillow leant up against the wall, depending which one I'm using.

What it reveals is that I (we, really) use the bedroom for sleeping (and some sex) and not much else. All the book reading, ipadding and whatnot (and the rest of the sex) happens elsewhere.

MsMightyTitanAndHerTroubadours · 12/08/2019 22:27

It's not a table, it's an old low chair, with a slim mirror flat over the arms to keep some things on

books, kindle, dead hudl, tweezers and twangy spring thing, specs, old contact lens packets, glass of water, radio, small notebook to cover radio screen
an enormous pair of scissors, no I don't know why either.
some odd earrings
emergency pants, in case I have gone to bed without and have to run out of the house
some of my fancy coin collection, I hoard them up there and then hide them somewhere safe.

that's probably most of it.

Freefalling123 · 12/08/2019 22:27

Ceramic pot with rings and earrings in

Tennis ball is for exercises given to me by my physiotherapist for a knee injury - I’m not very good at doing them, but have just now because I felt I should!
