Saturday is market day, though for various reasons we have not gone for the last couple of weeks. Christmassy things for sale - cards and decorations. We will take out a few things we’ve saved as we travel, but not yet. It’s still November!
Do buy an Ian Rankin novel from the animal rescue booth. Goes into the read aloud pile. We’ve probably read almost all of his as we’ve travelled. And watched Rankin develop as a novelist. The only crime writer we read together.
Are about to leave the market when we spot, almost hidden, a carton with a half dozen free range eggs. Well, actually hidden, it seems. Toni’s husband, whose free range hens they came from, tells us Toni had set them aside for us, the last carton. Forty-five Turkish lira ($1.36 CAD, £.80). One of the true bargains in this country.
J has set up on the terrace with the hot glue gun in order to repair the soles of our shoes and sandals.
