OMG, we are up in pitch darkness!
What the hell are we thinking???
Attending the Morrinsville Country Market means we have to leave by 5.30 am, to get there at a decent set up time.
We are leaving extra early as we have never attended this market before, so want to give ourselves time to get there (it's about a 30-35 minute drive away), and we need time to find where to go.
As you all know, I kinda DETEST getting up early, and this is VERY EARLY. At least this market only goes until midday. We will be home by 1-1.30, which gives me plenty of time to have a crabby nap. lol
I will post a few photos of the market once we are set up and have ourselves sorted.
ABOVE: well it didn't take us long to get here. And it's still dark.
ABOVE: Still dark... the organizers are setting up. Oh yes, we were the very first people here. Lol
ABOVE: Slowly everyone is getting here and setting up.
ABOVE: His nibs relaxing. It's 7.15 am and we are ready.
1.51 pm: Home. Unpacked. Did a few jobs.Now... exhausted. But happy.
We did fairly well at the market.
And that was pretty good as the town had it's A&P Show on at the same time.
So next month there will probably be even more people turn up to the market.
I now reek of dog... cos I bathed Coco, who was rather smelly.
When Stew starts complaining.. I have to act. 😖
Bathing dogs is not one of my favourite jobs, not at all.
The bathroom ends up smelling like wet dog, and so do I.
A shower for me it now top of my 'to do' list. edit: Had me shower and cleaned the bathroom... all smells nice again.
Stew is at the supermarket, stocking up on Diet Coke and his work lunch food.
3 pm: Stew arrived home with the groceries, so I went and lay down on our bed for my 'crabby nap'. Didn't happen.
Phone kept pinging. So I'm up.
We have decided we're too tired to cook anything for dinner, so we are going to our favourite Indian Restaurant instead.
ABOVE: Well ... another celebratory glass of wine did pass me lips. And Butter Lamb. It is always excellent. Stew tries a different dish when he has dinner there, but mostly he loves Chicken Tikka Masala, which he had this evening.
Now we are home, and going to settle down and just relax till bedtime. It is STINKING HOT, but I doubt that will keep us awake tonight.
Catch ya tomorrow.
Hugs. Hope the market is a success for you.

ReplyDeleteWe are close to the same age. I will be 64 next month.
ReplyDeleteEvery time you set up a booth, I think of my paternal grandparents.
They had a floor loom and made rag rugs. They sold them at local markets. They never met a stranger, so each market was a wonderful social event for them. They were also very active in card groups and square dancing.
I still have two of their rugs. I have had them for 50+ years. I do not use them as rugs anymore. I fold them and sit on them for gardening.

Well done team Harvey….
ReplyDeleteWow, don't know what 4.30am is like! The stall looks awesome. Love the one behind Stew. But I love them all. I'd be hopeless if I was there. And very broke lol. Have a great day clever lady. Kj
ReplyDeleteUsually the person who comes the farthest is the earliest.
ReplyDeleteThat's great news. Worthwhile going out there. Kj
