Day 27 - A trip to the Farmers Market

Here I am in a muslin cotton shirt, trusty old black jeans with my purchases. A De Brood Bakkers Pane Italian and Fresh Coriander. Not visible in the photo (cos they're in my tummy!) are the deliciously crumbly feta style blue cheese by Sherrington Grange Cheese, http://www.sherringtongrange.co.nz/cheese_history.html and the Birchmore Highland Beef Garlic Salami. 
The photographer was still in bed when I set off in our trusty Nissan stead. I treated myself to a Mocca and spent an hour or so wandering around the market. I don't go nearly enough to the Farmers Market... http://www.marketground.co.nz/ and I always forget cash! But this time I was well stocked up, and so I shopped! As well as the produce I picked up a cucumber plant and an eggplant plant(?) with a name like a Chinese Gymnast - Ping Tung Long. The aubergine it produces is purple, thin and, funnily enough - long!

After winning the X Factor bet, The Photographer decided to cash in his breakfast chit today - but instead of eating in bed we sat outside and had eggs and bacon and fruit and the spoils of my Farmers Market trip.

It has been an absolute corker of a day... had a long walk along the river and through Pollard Park to visit my Nana, and watched all the Steig Larsson "Girl Who" movies. It's 8:30 and still light!!!! Feel very relaxed... so will tick that off my list of jobs for the weekend!
