| Bougainvillea Reflected in Rain Puddle |
Sunny in the morning and the marble mountain peak shines at us but it’s obviously rained in the night as well as yesterday. Pleasant walk down to the Saturday market but can see that the weather has taken its toll. There are quite a few vacant stalls and fewer shoppers as well. Some vendors will probably have decided yesterday that the weather was uncertain and they would be better waiting until next week.
Big, if shallow, puddles on the cement floor - from one of which a large brown dog is drinking thirstily. The Tulips cancer charity stall is operating though the dog rescue book stall had apologised in advance that they would be unable to attend. Our friendly fruit and nut seller has a full stall. Had hoped he would be there as he has the best garlic we’ve been able to find - other than the heads that came from the Gimli producer. Our usual kilo of peanuts as well as half a kilo of shelled whole walnuts - almost certainly from California if Famagusta’s weekly market is anything to go by, but very nice. A kilo of raisins. That might have been all but the man cleverly entices us to try a date. They’re very good. A kilo? I hesitate. OK half, he agrees. Sold.
