You got there before me grouser.
This is another view of the contraption.

Gavilan, only suggestions for the wooden thing. Bozo,or Boyeriza. I know someone in Coín who has an Ox but I only see him every few months.

Re. the book, have you tried Bookworld España? Why not write an article too and send it to Sur in English..

[gavilan]

you did better than me colinm well done!
katy: thanks for your suggestions re Bookworld and Sur in English ... good ideas which I will follow up asap ...
the trouble with self publishing is that I have to do all the marketing and distribution as well ... had not bargained for that! ... as my father used to tell me 'you dont think things through' ... how right he was!

[peteroldracer]

Is the Arabic name for it " Al-ty-emupfurst"?

[gavilan]

[gavilan]

re what the 'oxtrap' is called in Spanish ... according to the men in the bar at Venta la Parra this morning: 'potro para herraje de vacas' (or buey) ... so now we know!

[katy]

In that case I think my Boyeriza may be right too

[gavilan]

katy: I suspect that it is called different names in different places so you could well be right

[avellana]
