Saturday Saturday Saturday

After a quite presentable lie-in (getting up after 7!), we went off to the farmer's market on Aliceanna St, just in front of our building. We bought: apples, peaches, aubergines (purple and white), courgettes, beans and onions. Not a bad start to a day of determined support for the American economy. From there we went to the local Hertx (on Pratt St, 5 min walk from here) and picked up a car for the weekend). We then went out to a mall to pick up the second wave of things on Mel's 'essential immediately' list!While there, I found further evidence for the existence of the 'buffalo chicken' in this stylised artists impression from a restaurant largely devoted to the animal.None of the extensive shopping list came close to the excitement induced in Mel by the early arrival of her birthday kettle (Thank you Eddens senior). DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME... In blatant contravention of Parr rules on such matters, Mel decided that this was one present that simply couldn't wait for her birthday.
