SECOND MORRINSVILLE MARKET

 

Here we are again, up at an ungodly hour of the day.  About ready to leave for the Morrinsville Market.

The weather is looking iffy... cloudy but not raining.  Hopefully we get no rain.

This will be our second Morrinsville Market, and it will be interesting to see how many people/stall holders come today.

Last month there was an annual event on in Morrinsville, so there were predictably less people around.  Today is a 'normal' day, so I'm hoping attendance is higher than last time.

This market runs from 8.30 am to 12 noon, so we should be home in good time.  We have some people coming later on this afternoon to look at the dining suite.  Gosh I hope it goes today!  I'm kinda over it now.

...

ABOVE: Today for the very first time... we have a  'walk through' stall.  It took a bit of re-jigging our set up... but it's worked out fine.

Now... bring on the shoppers. 

8.30. We just had a shitty burst of rain and had to pull everything in. But it only lasted about 20 minutes... all fine again now.

ABOVE: Well the sun has come out... but not the shoppers so far. It is bloody slow as f#%k. It sure makes time drag.

And now the fire siren is going off in town... can't see any smoke.

No Sale Day

First one in a very long time.

It was very, very quiet.  Most of the stall holders did badly, we were certainly not the only ones leaving with empty pockets today.

We will do that market one more time, and if it is still a dud, we will not do it again.

It is too much effort for NOTHING.

I'm so happy to be home, unpacked and can now just relax until the people come to look at the table.  I shall not hold my breath on that one either.

Stew is going out shortly to do the weekend Diet Coke grab.  Then he too can relax.

It might just be a takeaway dinner tonight. 

I could not be more happy, something went right today!

We finally sold the dining suite, and to the most lovely young couple, who will love it just as much as we have.

ABOVE:  One totally empty dining space.  Which I immediately filled up with the boxes of stuff from the pantry and baking cupboard.  They can stay there until we move.  I can access stuff from them if I need them.

There was no way the food was going to the storage unit.  Think Rats, Spiders, Cockroaches.  Massive IKkkkkk.

It's now almost 4 pm, and I'm thinking PIZZA for dinner...

7.41 pm:  And we did indeed have Pizza for dinner.  Steve, Bex and the kids came over for dinner as well.  Too busy eating, and being entertained by Miss Lily to take any photos.

They have now gone home, and I for one am exhausted.

I am positive I will be in bed before 9 pm tonight.

Getting up at 5 am is a bit much!

Catch ya tomorrow.  AFTER I have a freakin' sleep in.
