TAMAHERE IN AUGUST

 

Here we go again... another market in iffy weather.

At least we do know that at Tamahere the people still come, rain or shine.

I'm hoping to get a chance to talk to a fellow stall holder, 'M', who has been on WEGOVY for some months now.  I want to pick his brains, primarily to find out how long it took for him to notice the positive effects of the drug?  Like, how long it takes to kill your 'hunger signals' and feeling full on less?

He's done so well on it, so I'm hoping he can give me some real life tips.  

Today is the first time in months I will have Fish Runners on our stall.  I wonder how they will go?

Right, time to go.... catch ya later.

ONWARD... 

ABOVE: We woke so early we ended up at market just after 6am. So it was pitch black for a while.

ABOVE: That is Butch, a fellow stall holder. We've known him for years . He's a real hard case, nice guy.

ABOVE: 7.35 am, and we are all ready. The weather is holding...

Bring on the shoppers. 

ABOVE: A few other stalls that we love. 

ABOVE: Another one.

ABOVE: The outside 'side', which is our BONUS space at this market. 

ABOVE: That's Carl, he sells soaps, and his Mum Margaret sells Venison Salami. We just bought some of her salami, its delicious. 

THE SUN IS OUT!!!!

ABOVE: This lady was walking by and I spied the bag she had on her shoulder... one of mine. I grabbed a photo... she said she uses her bag all the time and loves it. 

The market is not as busy as last month, but steady.

ABOVE: Looking at that! Two small BRITTO items for $1.50.  Grabbed them the minute I saw them. 

As for the market, its almost dead, with an hour to go.

It's been a disappointing day for everyone here today. 

2.10 pm, and we are home.  Although it wasn't a fantastic day sales wise, we did make some sales, and it's always nice catching up with everyone at market.

ABOVE: We are now taking a minute to just relax, before doing a small grocery shop.  My Optifast today has a tamarillo and berries whizzed into it.  Very nice.

Like a fruit smoothie, something I'm not used to, but am enjoying.  As I've said before, it makes the Optifast palatable.  Without the fruit?  It's DISGUSTING. 😂😖

6.50 pm, and here we are.  Parked in front of the telly on a Saturday night... like Darby and Joan.  Just two old farts now.  lol

Time to sign off for the day.

We were so lucky with the weather today!  It clouded over late this afternoon, so I fully expect it to rain at some point this evening, or tomorrow.

Catch ya tomorrow.
