Jumped up at 6 to do my stint in the village shop, home just after 9.30, loafed for an hour or two, then watched an auction online in which I'd left left some commission bids - I ended up with a carpet and 5 chests of drawers that I'd intended to secure, and missed out on 5 Moorcroft pottery items and a near-perfect condition Ercol fall-leaf table I had left lowish, hopeful bids on. I really liked the table but it wasn't quite what we were looking for and it went for £150 +21% fees, double what I'd bid.
Then I went outside and finished putting up some soil-retaining boards by the ditch in front of the house in preparation for planting a hedge.
Well, somebody asked!
