On the bright side with no laptop to
distract me, I spent the last week taking 500+ photographs of all kinds of
things as I did lots of sorting and consolidating of what is actually three
entities; the 'storage' stuff; the 'here' stuff and the unsorted stuff.
Didn't miss much anyway, Bulldog's 'Malvern' and the Kempton Park
truffle-hunt were probably the highlights last week, and only three minor
auctions. This week is looking-up a bit with the NEC on Sunday (entry-price
rises) and a Wallis & Wallis
auction, while Gerry at SRP has a new
venue which is always worth a punt as a new venue can equate to one or two new
table-takers - often local with new-to-market stuff?

Top marks to Donald Tusk for saying it . .
. how it is!
Funny that the same people who think it's
OK for the right-wing press to call our judiciary 'Traitors' for following the
Rule of Law are now blubbing with faux-outrage at being called out for what
they are! All of them squatting on our collective doorstep with their trousers
round their knees and their minds in 'effing neutral while they Brwreakshit all
over our future!
