TAMAHERE MARKET IN AUGUST

 

Loading the car for market now only takes us ten minutes... it's like a well oiled machine. Shame it takes much, much longer to then get the market stall all set up.  Usually it takes us an hour, sometimes a bit longer.

Today... well as expected, we have a cold frost.  BUT... that also means we shall have a lovely day once it melts.

I'm ready for it.  Stew bought us both some 'special' hiking socks, deemed good for warmth.  And I have my woollen blanket, and a few layers on.  I'm trying to cut down on the layers, as I can hardly move when I have too much on the body.

I think I need to MOVE more when at the market... go for a few walks around the stalls more often.

And I need to just suck it up and stop bitching!  lol

Late yesterday afternoon, I got an itch to sew.  I had dreamed about making a black and white Scrappy Doll...

ABOVE:  She's not ALL black and white, cos ya need some colour... so, what do you think of her?

It will be interesting to see if she's snapped up today or not.

Right, we better get a move on... I still need to put some face on, can't go out without me face on.

...

ABOVE: 7.47 am. All set up... and it's not totally freezing now. Bring on the customers. 

ABOVE: Why yes, I am warm enough. 

Only one thing to say about this market, with just over an hour to go. Should have stayed in bed.

Looking to be an utter bust. 

Only consolation is, I wasn't cold.

1.50 pm: Home, and damn glad we don't have to do that for another month!  

We are about to head out and get a few things to organise my wardrobe like Stew's.  

And we are also getting another dog door, for the internal laundry door.  So we can shut that door, and heat up the house without all the heat going into the garage.

Coco came come and go just like she did in our previous home, through two dog doors.  She's clever like that.  😊

3.35 pm: And what a successful little shopping trip.  We got everything on our list, no trouble at all.

So we are set for getting a few jobs done tomorrow.

Now though, it's time to chill out and relax.  Until dinnertime, when I think we are going to our favourite Indian Restaurant.

ABOVE: Our dinner, which we ended up having at another Indian Restaurant, as our favourite place was booked out.

We went to Davies Corner.  It as not as good sadly.  

Stew got a Mango Lassie, and it was revolting!  I had a sip and was like ... hell no.  He didn't drink it.

Happily home now, and I'm about to head off to bed.

I am bloody tired.   And slightly CRABBY.
