After a morning of early morning cuddles with my baby, followed by a quick play on the swingset, we ventured down to the torrens island markets to purchase our fruit and veg for the week. With a promise of ' I'll be good girl mummy ', L was strapped into her stroller, and our first purchase was a banana to keep her entertained.
The sights, sounds and smells of this riverside market never fail to amaze, nay disgust me at times. I just fail to see how the vendors of these markets cannot survive their morning without disgusting smelling cigarettes hanging from their lips, all while hacking into mammoth size watermelons, and trying to cajole the shopper into purchasing their wares. The waft of this sickly smoke made me nearly retch, and yet, I am a smoker ( as DP so kindly pointed out to me ).
All in all we did get some bargains - ruby red tomatoes, fresh picked off the vines, delicious yellow nectarines, bag of carrots for 99cents. This will certainly assist in my aim to be as frugal as possible this year, which I will probably blog a fair bit about this year !
When we got home, the little one went off to dream of ballerinas and trains ( her two favourite interests at the moment ). It was then that I decided to take a break and settle in to watch Sex and The City reruns on foxtell.
The re-occuring UTI problem I have reared it's ugly head, and I have pretty much managed to spend most of the day on the couch, feeling pretty blah. Alltogether, I watched 9 episodes of my favourite show, and although season 6 is by far my favourite, it certainly does have inspiring clothing, especially when Carrie is dating the Russian.
The lolly pink Oscar De La Renta dress that Alexandr buys for Carrie, is one of my favourite pieces I've ever seen on the show. I'm no fashion plate by any means, but I know a timeless piece when I see it, and my gosh I'd give my right arm for a dress like that.
Agreed - that dress is to die for! Sorry you've not been well, hope you're recovering :)
