My office is above the garage, a five-yard commute every morning, and I think the subliminal proximity of tools and gardening equipment is an aid to productivity. I'm tidy, except when immersed in a project, which is when the cups, pistachio shells and half-eaten meals pile up. I look out on to trees, until it gets dark and they look back at me. Then it's time to knock off.<BR /><B>Simon Armitage</B></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/CF0DBDA9-FBEF-4678-A4FD-9C3A59635B0D/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
