For sale: one static caravan awning, blue, fits a caravan we no longer possess, having sold the caravan to a man in Long Crendon who did not want the awning. It has been put up exactly once, on the drive, in April, by two adults who stopped speaking for a full afternoon. Erected it is the size of a small marquee; folded it is the size of a sleeping labrador and roughly the same weight. Collection only, and bring somebody you already dislike.

- Wanted: a man or woman who owns a long ladder and no strong opinions about how other people should be using theirs. I have a ladder of my own but it reaches the gutter in the way a handshake reaches an apology, which is to say technically. Previous helpers have spent more time assessing my angles than ascending them. Tea provided, commentary not required.Box C022
- Free to a good home: a full set of encyclopaedias, A to Zygote, 1987, including the volume where everything about computers is wrong in a way that is now quite soothing. They weigh what a child weighs and look magnificent on a shelf you have not yet built. I kept them through three house moves on the grounds that one day somebody would ask me a question, and nobody ever has.Box C023
