The Market

Nice mild summer to date but that’s about to change today with 41c forecast but some pleasant weather again after tomorrow.

Looks like the cold spa will be the place to be today because I’m not tackling the beach at the moment with the hordes of thrip in attendance.  Maybe early in the morning or the evening as the sharks come in to feed off the rubbernecks during the day.

Anyway, yesterday was a lovely day for the monthly Ocean Grove market and MP again setup her wares and did well selling over 50 owls, Barbie clothes and Barbie bean bags.

Check out the body language here.  “For goodness sake they’re only 5 bucks.  Eeny, Meeny, Miny Mo………”

Unfortunately, we were camped beside the local CFA tent (hence the fire truck) cooking up sausages.  I can tell you it’s not that pleasant sniffing in greasy snags at 9am in the morning.

Just kidding about the sharks.  They only attack at random.  Fingers crossed

    Those owls would do well on Ebay, price seems a little low though.

    It’s just a hobby for her and she’s not interested in commercialising it. There are millions of owls for sale on the net.

    It’s nice to hear what life is like on the other side of the globe. Enjoy your heat.

    I hate heat. OK up to 32c and after that I get really grumpy.

    It got to about 5 here yesterday. Sadly, I like the heat. Being in mid 30′s has never bothered me. I am quite lizard-like. 40 and above is too hot for me though. :-) When we’re on holiday to warm places – I NEVER complain about the heat. I know that as soon as I get back on the plane, the hot is over.

    Women’s internal temperature gauges never ceases to amaze me. When I was meter reading, I’d go into offices and be met with a blast of hot air with their heating set to 28 or above. A comfortable temp is 17 to 20 and they’d be horrified when I’d suggest that.

    Here at the house – we keep the place pretty cold – We don’t let it heat up past about 15. So, I am thrilled to get to a warm place.

    For just the odd very hot day we get, we can’t justify A/C. Our house takes a long time to heat up, but after two very hot days in a row, you are more than welcome to visit “a warm place”
