This is Harry - he is 5 and runs a little honesty shop near to my Saleroom. Someone has stolen his money and his stock. They will probably be too ashamed to return either but if they get to read this I hope it costs them a few nights sleep.
So - a bloke sticks a banana to a wall and sells it for $120,000. Then a “Performance Comedian” takes off the wall and eats it. Gallery gets another banana to replace it and sticks it to the wall. The world is now officially mad.
I’ve lost two mates this week - Tuesday and today - thoughts go out to anyone who has lost a relative or friend - particularly at this time of year

Apparently it’s National Love Your Pet Day today. Sorry to bombard you again with pics of these two. Normal service will be resumed and I’ll revert back to pots and paintings.
2012 vs 2020. If you’re going through an eating disorder while trying to deal with the current global situation please keep going! It won’t be a continual uphill climb but eventually you do get there, and life is good again 💙
After my Grandfathers death I found this at the back of a drawer. A wartime equivalent of a photocopy. It was screwed up in an envelope- discarded and to him meaningless - he would never talk about the war - and never took his shirt off to reveal the scars he had from beatings.
Me : Could I have a cheese sandwich please?
Bakers : Sorry we don’t do plain cheese. We do ham and cheese and I can do you one of those without the ham.
Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there- the father figures, the step dads, dads who have lost babies and those who’s fathers aren’t here any more. I’m very lucky to be so close to my dad and to be seeing him today ☺️

Nearly 15,000 RTs and likes = Nearly 15,000 good people and a couple of clowns. Best ignored. Thank you all for your very kind offers of money. If Harry’s family want to do something I will let you know but please don’t just send stuff yet awhile.

Your messages have been passed to Harry’s mom. She’s very grateful and if she wants to take this further either she or I will post on here. Thank you all once again.
Sadly I have decided to close the Saleroom today so the two planned sales for this week will be postponed. In my view this is the right thing to do for my clients - buyers and sellers - and my staff. I will keep you advised when we resume our auction programme.
I think there’s place in the media for a News programme that only gives Good News and never mentions all the rubbish stuff that’s going on in the world.
Could I please put in a request for you all to humour a grumpy old man (moi) - you do not “win” lots in an auction - it is not a raffle - you buy them. Will now crawl back under my stone.
An interesting evening. A Squirrel set the alarm off in the Saleroom and on the way to help sort it a Deer ran into my car. The joys of being a country auctioneer. Pleased to advise Squirrel and Deer are both fit and well.
Sad news at the Nestle factory today - a member of staff was seriously injured when a pallet of chocolate fell 50 feet and crushed him underneath.He tried in vain to attract attention but every time he shouted “The milky bars are on me” everyone cheered (courtesy M Davis)
Hotel breakfast brings some rare sights. Scrambled egg, beans and pain au chocolat - at the same time. And an inability by some to hold a knife and fork in the prescribed manner. (Proof - if it were needed - that I am now an old man)
Happy New Year one and all.
May your profits be large and your losses small - but more importantly good health and happiness to you!

Am pleased to advise the black tape over the engine management light on the dash of my car appears to be working in that I haven’t seen it since I put the tape over it.
Twitter is a strange place. I’m not convinced it always represents the real world. I enjoy and like it but it is not a place to abuse others who can’t/won’t defend themselves. There is no right to throw stones.
Somebody ate something that disagreed with her this morning - given her track record this is no surprise - hopefully after a £495 vets bill all will be good.
My trusty 15 years old 100,000 mile plus VW Golf has developed a fault. The engine management light keeps coming on. Have covered it with black tape so I can’t see it. Probably not a long term fix.
We’ve been hangin’ with Uncle Phil! Still managed to whip up a cracking playlist for tonight’s show on
