We don't see any immediate use for it in the near or far future so we are happy to give it to someone at a great deal and to give it a new home. It is, as you can see, a Power Line PG3600E. It will have to be picked up. It comes with 8L of fuel in the tank and another 10L of fuel in the fuel can plus 4L of oil for topping up plus nozzle. The warranty papers haven't been filed so they can be completed and sent on. It has one outlet.

Well we are certainly living in interesting times. I must say I am having a little difficulty keeping up with the changing Covid regulations and am really only concerned with how I can safely run my book fairs. If the worst comes to the worst and I think I am symptomatic then I'll check the MOH website and follow their directions.
I have the dates for my Eureka Book Fairs for 2022 and suggest you diarise them:
4 – 13 March
3 – 12 June
2 – 11 September
2 – 11 December
So you see we have a book fair starting on Friday and our usual hours are 9am to 6pm. The Eureka Hall is on SH 26 between Hamilton and Morrinsville, on the corner of Hunter Road.
The Eureka Hall Committee met recently and decided that all hall hirers are now to require only persons with vaccination certificates and masks to enter the hall. Covid is spreading in Waikato so we all need to be careful. It would be appreciated if parents could supervise their little ones and ensure they don't run around the hall. Please maintain social distancing from people who are outside of your family or bubble. The first and last hours of the trading day are usually not so busy so you may want to try coming at different times.
Jennifer and I had an interesting time at Maramarua earlier this month. The locals were very supportive however the Aucklanders powered straight on to Coromandel or Tauranga without stopping. I am hoping to go back to Maramarua in October and have plans to get them to stop ...
I have been buying in quite a lot of fiction from my purple table authors lately so you may notice an increase in some of their prices but by paying for these books I believe that I am able to supply you with a greater range of books. I have managed to obtain quite a few books by Lee Child and some by Nora Roberts, both of whom are very popular. I get asked occasionally for Terry Brooks' books so I have managed to get a boxful from him.
You may even notice some books with my yellow stickers in the painted boxes if I think that those buyers may not look for their authors on the purple table.
Over the last few years I have often been asked for books on fishing and, with a lot of effort, I have managed to get a collection of books and DVDs together under Sport – Fishing.
Earlier in the week I went to Auckland and collected about 40 boxes, at least six of which contain children's books. Then a couple of days ago I went to Mangakino for another 25 or so boxes, and I still have a lot of unopened boxes in my shed. I also like to get odd (cheap) lots from Trade Me because that is often where I find the older, rather interesting books. Of course I still get emails offering me books so they are most welcome too.
Amongst the books collected from Mangakino were about 15 boxes of small Maori books. I believe they were from a school so there are quantities of each book but they are children's readers, and all I checked were in Maori. They would be excellent for a kura or any organisation teaching Maori to all ages. I have managed to get all 15 heavy boxes onto the stage. I am hoping to sell the Maori books as a bulk lot before my book fair starts. They need to be sold and brought down off the stage by midday on Thursday so I can set up my purple table books. Please email me back if you are interested and we can agree a time to view.
I will email you on Wednesday or Thursday with the time that I am opening for my subscribers on Thursday but remember that I will stay open until 8pm on Thursday night.
I look forward to seeing you at my Book Fair at Eureka from Friday 4th to Sunday 13th March.
Best wishes

Learn how to clean velvet furniture and keep it looking as sumptuous as the day you bought it.
Choosing velvet furniture is choosing to make a bold style statement in your space—there’s no ignoring its soft sheen, rich colour, and innate elegance. But velvet’s commanding presence also means that any discoloration or stains are that much more visible. No more hiding a dusty apartment…once the sunlight hits a velvet couch, there’s no hiding those annoying, allergy-inducing particles.
If you’ve opted for a bright, richly pigmented colour, like navy or chartreuse, we recommend avoiding direct sunlight, which can cause the fabric to fade. Consider window coverings substantial enough to protect your piece but lovely enough to catch the eye. Read on to learn how to clean velvet furniture and protect it from wear and tear and those inevitable spills.
Materials:
- Vacuum
- Absorbent cloth
- Soap and water or an upholstery cleaner
- Soft brush
Vacuum the fabric: Remember those pesky dust particles we were talking about? Well, in terms of regular maintenance, all you need to do to the item itself is give it a good dusting. We recommend regular vacuuming; a soft brush can also loosen surface dirt and brush it away.
Tackle spills the right way: If a friend does happen to spill their cocktail on your couch, White suggests blotting the area immediately with a clean, dry absorbent cloth. We then recommend mandating said friend to a different spot in your home. No one likes a party foul.
Test cleaning products: If a dried stain is staring you in the face and you just can’t help but do something about it, test any cleaning product (even basic soap and water) on a hidden spot to ensure it doesn’t ruin the fabric. Mix soap and water to create a sudsy solution. Use a soft cloth to blot the stain with the suds, then let the fabric dry completely.
Brush the fabric: Once the velvet is dry, use a soft, dry brush in the direction of the pile to restore its direction and loft. This will give the velvet that brand-new, never-been-touched look.
Turn to a professional: When in doubt, ask for help. It’s best to professionally clean the entire piece to ensure the colour remains uniform. To ensure your velvet furniture remains in optimal condition, you should have it professionally cleaned. Next up? Sit back, relax, and enjoy your good-as-new upholstery.
