I have sent out another press release today for James and Sons (see media attachments at the end of this post). This was two point up that we have two auctions running at present, the one on 22 February and a “Time Bid” auction (online only, check out www.the-saleroom.com for details) which closes on the 19th of February. The image for this latter required a bit of technical work, as there was no single stand out lot, so a montage of some of the highlights was called for. A late adaptation was then needed when David decided he did not like one of the images that I had initially selected for the montage, and it being square it took two rectangular images to replace it adequately (The medal and the Colman’s Mustard postcard).
The Washing Machine Epic commenced in the run up to Christmas when a case of metal fatigue in a small sub-component meant that the door became detached from the hinge. Although I can still run the machine in its current state, I am still sufficiently unimpressed by the conduct of Mark 1 Appliance to state bluntly that they deserve no custom from anyone. My landlady has finally found another firm to do the repairs, and they are scheduled to happen on Monday afternoon (so, touching the nearest thing to wood that a 21st century public library contains, the saga will finally come to an end after a trifling two months!!)
