Last weekend-The Boeremark (used books)/the Zoo and lunch on sunday

The Boeremark(Farmer's Market) is a market which is open every Saturday where all the farmers bring their fresh produce to sell.Anyone can have a stall there so there is also a lady who sells used books at her own stall which happens to be a table.This little outing of mine which is about once a month is usually a big mission especially in Winter as you have to be there really early before everything gets sold out.
My daughter refused to get up early and this is what I should have been doing instead I woke up at 5 a.m.,on the road by 5:30 and was there at 6 a.m.First stop is the coffee stall and then we sit on these horrible hard plastic chairs(very cold in winter) and we watch everyone coming in and generally chat (me and friend,Louise).



Ok,we sometimes make comments about some of the people.ok,a lot of the time, but it's cold so we need entertainment! We always complain about the price of the croissants,usually while eating them but they are really good so we keep on buying them.

After that begins the walk though all the stalls

And right at the end is the book lady.She is very sweet but highly territorial.About a year back another gentleman starting coming to sell his used books and we desparately wanted to see what books he had.We had to go right at the back and make a long trip around so she would not see us go there.He had really good books but we were so nervous we thought we would sneak in the back way the next saturday and go directly to him.Unfortunately we never saw him again.

So that was last saturday morning,in the afternoon we went to the Zoo.


And on sunday we went to this very nice and comfortable restaurant
And nothing happening this weekend.I am as sick as a dog with flu.The last time I was sick was in June 2005 and I was bragging about that last week and forgot to "touch" wood.Serves me right!!
