Lenovo PC with screen (EH4 (Craigmount))
As shown in the pictures, this is a slimline Lenovo H330 with a Philips 190B multimedia screen. It is quite old (2012 model) but works fine. Since Windows 11 cannot be installed on it, I put Linux Mint XCFE on it and, again, as can be seen in the photos, it runs fine. The screen is a 19" multimedia screen but I haven't been able to get the speakers working. I don't know if it's a problem at the screen end or a configuration problem on the PC. Apart from that, everything seems to be working very well. The main specs are: Processor: Intel i5-2320 running at 3GHz If interested, please don't forget to let me know when you can pick up. Memory: 8 GB Hard drive: 640 GB

MS Office Mac 2004 (EH4 (Craigmount))
Microsoft Office for Mac 2004 as shown in the picture (product codes on back of packaging). Also some installation and test discs of a similar vintage. This version of Mac will work on MacOS 10.13 (High Sierra) or older, and perhaps on slightly newer versions as well, systems as well but certainly not on recent MacOS versions. Good for anyone with an old Mac and especially if you have one with a Power PC processor (i.e. G3, G4, G5)

Robust padding for glass jars (Pilton EH4)
These amazingly strong, air-cushioned cozies for glass jars are a must-have for any outing. They came with 1 kg glass jars of tahini in them, and they are really too good to throw away. Okay so they're plastic - not good for the environment - but help keep them out of the environment by holding on to one or more for life. I can't bear to recycle them (which is never 100% beneficial for the environment), so have loads of them and more coming every time we buy more tahini online. Could let go of one or two of the jars that fit snugly in them, if wanted.

Bicycle Lock (Special Opening Technique Required) (Pilton EH4)
Promised
It's quite easy once you get the knack of it, but you mustn't forget the special technique required to open it or you will be wrestling with it and getting frustrated at how it appears to randomly jam and then suddenly open for no apparent reason. BUT THERE IS A REASON and it's totally logical and reliable when you understand it. THE TECHNIQUE is to turn the key all the way round, and then - crucially - bring it back a tiny bit. That will release the mechanism and it will open flawlessly, time after time.
