Market

Whenever I am at home I go to the market. When I still lived here, I went every Saturday. Now, whenever I visit, I do the same. Not only do I enjoy the shopping, but also it is an opportunity to see friends. In times of no lock down we typically go from the farmers market to a nearby pub for a drink and a chat. In the time of Corona, we just walk the market together and buy awesome food. I get inspired by what I see and decide on the weeks menu as I shop. For the coming week I picked up some nice items, buying what I do not get in the US. I love the food diversity, a far cry from what I find in US supermarkets. I did want to post pictures of the market, but windows is not cooperative so you will have to imagine what it looks like. After our trip to the market mum and I needed to warm up. For me this entailed a very hot shower. Beyond our market excursion nothing much happened today. I read my book, called a friend and cooked an awesome meal. Somehow I am finding that the more time I have the less I get done.
