Bookstall is on today May 28th

   Well, we may have to dodge the showers but fingers-crossed they'll miss us. More books fresh to the stall, more cigar boxes and other surprises too. Come on down to the market, there's something to keep you engaged through the rest of the long weekend. You'll be bored come Monday evening otherwise.

   Anyway, as an incentive, the first person to get the following question right will be able to pick two art auction catalogues of his/her choice:

                        Only one country remained undefeated at the 2010 World Cup. Which one?

   There may be a common thread developing with the questions. See you soon, haere ra, Andrew.

   P.S. I've now got 125 paintings, drawings and photographs of art I like up on my tumblr page. I plan to put up about three hundred a year. More being added all the time. You can see them at www.womblegrinch.tumblr.com .

Bookstall is on today May 21st

   It looks like the rain that is forecast will not arrive until about 5pm so we'll give it a go. Lots of new books on the stall this week but be quick as there might be a bulk purchase being made. We shall see if that bears fruit. I'm going to start packing up around 4pm to avoid the rain and watch the Cup Final. What's with the late kick-off? A three o'clock start would've missed the rain. My people will have to go to bed and set the alarm.

   Anyway, as an incentive, the first person to get the following question right will be able to pick two art auction catalogues of his/her choice:

               Who was the first Westerner to climb Mount Everest and get down again and which country did he come from?

   Dead easy, you shouldn't even need to look it up. Obviously not Mallory or Irvine as they're both still up on the mountain.

   See you soon, haere ra, Andrew.

Bookstall is on today May 14th

   Well, the forecast looks good for today, so come on down to the market for more art books, cigar and wine boxes and other useful things you didn't know you needed.

   As an incentive, the first person to answer the following will be able to pick two art auction catalogues for free of his/her choice:

              Which New Zealander scored the last ever Premier League goal at Upton Park?

   Couldn't be easier. Haere ra, Andrew.

Bookstall is on today May 7th

   Well, it looks like it is going to be a cracking day today. My pasty white legs might even get an outing. Another couple of boxes of art books fresh to the stall and more of the usual stuff as well. Come on down, you wont be disappointed.

   As an incentive, the first person to say the following will be able to pick two art auction catalogues for free of his/her choice:

                                "Like a river that don't know where it's flowin'
                                 I took a wrong turn and I just kept goin' ."

   Who doesn't love The Boss? Anyway, see you soon, haere ra, Andrew.
