   As an incentive, the first person to say the following phrase will get two free art auction catalogues.

   Not difficult is it? See you soon.

                            "Less Dill more Sage"

   It is, of course, a reference to this. See you soon, Andrew

   Parakeet update: I've seen a mob of about twenty parakeets three times this week as I've been cycling home. They fly over Oliver Road in Leyton, just along from Orient's ground around eight o'clock. 

Bookstall is on today July 13th

   Looks like it will be a beautiful day, so come to the park and buy books on art. I've lots of new stuff, all going very cheaply. Lots of cigar boxes, some wine boxes and other bits and pieces. There's even the free book box there to help yourself to.

   As an incentive, the first person who can tell me if he/she has seen a parakeet in Hackney will get two auction catalogues free. If you haven't, well, that counts too. There's one that flies over the market, and I even saw four in St James's Park a couple of weeks ago.

   Come on, there are lots of other stalls as well, we've even got a tropical bar for the summer. See you soon. Andrew.

   Come on, there are lots of other stalls as well, we've even got a tropical bar for the summer. See you soon. Andrew.

Tribal Art sale at Woolley & Wallis 3rd July

   Woolley & Wallis, the Salisbury-based auctioneers, are holding a Tribal Art sale on July 3rd. Approximately 520 lots are going under the hammer, mainly from Africa but also including Maori, Aborigine, Pacific Islands, New Guinea, North & South America and South-East Asian items. Ninety-five percent of the lots are estimated at below £500, so there's something for everyone.

A Maori carved wood wahaika, hand club. 15". Estimate: £200-300.

   You can view the catalogue here starting at lot 654

   Well, I think seven months off after that result in December is long enough. Let's get this thing rolling again. I'm going to be adding things on here that I've collected - mainly pre-1950 New Zealand sports memorabilia - though the days of spending £600 on an item are long gone. I've been reduced to picking up bits and pieces on eBay but c'est la vie. On with the show. Andrew.
