Is that a more interesting title? It’s from a song you know.
Here a few things we did today:
Checked out Redwater Markets. They are new “environmental” markets in Redfern Park. We got there about 10:30am and it was pretty small. Mostly second hand clothes, books, homewares. There was a nutty guy who asked us to buy his home-made recycled furniture. He told us how he had made a plant stand from floorboards and named one his chairs “Mr Wonderful” chair! There were only about 10 stalls, but it is new and early days. I hope it picks up because I really like the idea and an alternative to the hipster-fest that is Surry Hills Markets.
Checked out the Rittenhouse sale in Surry Hills, Dave bought me one cotton top ($50), he held back.
Bought some yellow beads from Empire Beads, and bumped into a woman who used to be my art supplies sales rep from when I worked at Billy Blue. Small World.
Bought some groceries from Thomas Dux – it’s so neat, gourmet and orderly in there! I miss being able to do my groceries there. Thomas Dux was literally up the road from where I worked in Surry Hills last year. Don’t miss that job though – teaching those questionable overseas students.
Had a snack at Mad Mex
Checked out Via Alley and Flight 001 (new travel items shop – for those who like to travel in an a-nal-ly organised way)
Back at home, Dave made a yummy roast lamb dinner and then we watched two episodes of Breaking Bad. We are almost finished Season 3!
Stayed up to watch the Australia vs Ghana match while Dave dozed off.
