26th September French Newspaper (Odd Down)
French newspaper dated 26th September 1957 in hard folder. Gifted to me years ago, in very good condition. A nice present for someone ( a francophile?) who has the same birthday or a student of French perhaps?

Venetian blinds (Odd Down)
Gifted
Black, aluminium venetian blinds x 3, width 83cm x 1m 65 max drop. Having had some windows replaced and plasterwork done, these no longer fit. About 20 years old, still in decent condition and in working order, but one has a few not very noticeable slightly misshapen slats at one end. I washed them all when removed, thinking they would go back up. Also the simple fixings and screws. Definitely usable, it would be a pity to take them to the tip!
