Very nice @Bow !

Now I know what the markets look like.

You must have missed your mum!

So glad to hear that your mum is home @Bow

Hopefully that helps a little with her support.

Sounds like you have had a very busy day today. The market set up looks great! I hope the rain doesn't get too bad and you have lots of people at the market.

Hopefully you can have a bit of a sleep in tomorrow!

ohhh yep, i forget how much driving is involved in attending all the appointments!

@Snowie i can see why you'd prefer the weekdays, maybe going early in the morning might help beat some of the weekend crowd? the black friday sales might be good to catch if you feel up for it. if not, there's always online sales - has your mum shopped online before?

@Bow aww glad to hear your mums back!! sounds like a busy yet wholesome day!!

love that D's didn't want to miss the spelling test, such a dedicated kiddo 😊

the market setup already looks amazing, i can imagine how magical it'll look with the fairy lights on!!

She sometimes shops on line @rav3n

With her Alzheimer's however she cant remember how to pay unless I do it for her.

I also worry about her using her credit card on dodgy sites.

😴😴 wow so tired today. We managed to pack up and be out of there in about an hour. And thankfully the rain held off during back up, but have just finished hanging up our marquee roof and walls so they dry out.
It wasn’t the best market sales wise, but lots of interest.
I had one gentleman, youngish, looking at my art with his wife, making comments like… oh that’s so simple but so nice, would never of thought of that, that one’s really nice. But then I hear him say they are so expensive. Rude.
It took me a couple of hours to unwind and get to sleep, so lots of tossing and turning and I thankfully slept in, but I am still very tired and I’m sore.
it’s advent calendar night tonight and I’ve done nothing! We use a fabric calendar and fill the pockets with goodies, Urgh. And it’s elf night!

I snapped one photo of the fair lights, not the best pic though

You set up when it's dark @Bow ???

No @tyme set up was in the afternoon. Market started at 3pm. We packed up in the dark. It finished at 9pm and we had to be packed up and out by 10! Thankfully it doesn’t take as long to pack up. We had some pretty good battery operated lights from bunnings, plus our pretty fairy lights.

it was funny…. The cicadas and frogs like literally turned on all at the same time all at once. It was reasonable quiet, just people quietly chattering and carols playing and then bang…. All those noises started! On pack up we found a little frog had some how jumped in one of our crates.

how are you @tyme whatcha up to?

im still heaps tired, but am sitting on the bed watching survivor and doing my D’s advent calendar.

Oh! @Bow ,

It was yesterday! I thought today!

Sorry, I must've skimmed your post. I remember you saying you were picking D up because she WANTED to do a spelling test lol.

How were the sales?

I'm not really up to much. After I hop off here, I'm going to do some reading. @PeppyPatti recommended a book, and I've been reading it and just want to finish it!

My niece has been sleeping in my bed all week. The rule was that she could only sleep with me on weekends... but I'm too soft.

So this morning, at 5:30, she wakes up and wants to listen to an audiobook. In my half-sleepy head, I said "No, not before school"... then she says "Aunty.... you know there's no school today. It's the weekend"....

Arghhhh... my brain.

@tyme I'm vicariously living through you reading " Prophet Song "

I'm getting it on audible - this day.

..... Hello @Bow I like your name and I hope your having a nice day.
