I set my alarm for 5.15am so that I could get myself organised for the markets, but when the alarm went off, I lay there in the dark wondering why I had set the alarm!!
Is that a sign of age? Or was it just that I had to wake up properly first?
I took my time getting ready, but as I left home, I had that 'feeling'. You know? The feeling that I'd forgotten something important, but try as I might, I couldn't work out what it was.
When I arrived at the markets and began setting up my stall, I realised that I'd left my earrings stand behind, along with my signs. **forehead slap**
As the morning wore on, the wind got stronger and stronger, to the point where it was very uncomfortable and all of my stands kept falling over, so I took the stands down and lay the jewellery on the table.
Other stall holders were packing up more than an hour earlier than usual because their goods and their gazebos were at risk of blowing away!
For the first time ever, I sold nothing at the markets.
There were quite a few people about, but they were spending their money at the one fruit & veggie stall and the one plant stall.
Still, I got to spend a couple of hours with Aussie H, which was nice and we got to chat to lots of the local folk as they wandered around the grounds, which was also nice.
Adoring Husband appeared briefly with my coffee and then bought me breakfast from the SES stand.
However, it was a long and uncomfortable morning and I left 45 minutes early, feeling a little dejected.
I wish I'd taken my camera because there were some lovely little green bush parrots in the trees beside my stall and I'd have loved to have taken some photos! Yes, my obsession continues!
I only have one photo to post today, of my precious little Chicklet.

The markets may be failing, but the Chicklet love is still stronger than ever!
Nite all.
