Lenovo computer approx 10 years old (Burleigh GL5)
Windows 10 computer in full working order, including mouse and keyboard. The set-up works well BUT it won't support Windows 11. Installed software includes Libre Office (free Microsoft Office equivalent). Great for writing essays or your long-delayed novel, though.

Someone wants to demonstrate spinning at the Trinity Rooms repair cafe in January. Has any one some fleece spare? I know nothing about this but I presume she'll need to card it before spinning.

A weekly account of the first world war, 1914-15, in French, with hundreds of illustrations, photographs and maps, many of the illustrations in colour. Loose in weekly parts as shown, the condition is mixed with some tatty edges, but the contents are all very clean. A fascinating and detailed memento of WW1.

About 1/2 a tub [approx 1 kg??] of seed. Not sure why I bought so much as i do get goldfinches, which eat them, but it would take a massive flock to get through all of this.

Computer carry case (Burleigh GL5)
Gifted
Has loads of pockets, all kinds of sizes, for books, paper, pens, cards... Plus of course a laptop. In good condition as scarcely used. The case is quite heavy so maybe not great for lugging about on a train too much.

Magimix and attachments (Burleigh GL5)
Gifted
This is not 100% OK BUT the base with the motor works -- though the spindle is a bit distorted. It might respond to sanding down. The lid is also a bit chipped so does not function to get the motor started, as it should. But the blades etc are fine. So it is useful for the parts, at least.
