The clocks have gone forward, it’s 30 degrees and sunny. We’ve finished the last of the porridge, so it’s officially summer in our house – yay! I washed Jan’s MX-5 yesterday and today we had a drive into town with the top down.
We avoided the crowds heading for the harbour and the Navy’s 100-year celebration and went to Eveleigh Markets in Redfern, home of a lot of arty-crafty stalls selling lots of jewellery, various artworks, ceramics, glassware and all sorts of other tat.
I bought some free-trade organic coffee beans and Jan bought a vase. The markets are housed in the old railway workshops at Eveleigh and there are still some bits of engineering history there – such as the steam hammer behind me in the pic.
I love driving Jan’s car with the top down. In the summer here, it’s best to have the airconditioner going at full blast to cool you down while the sun burns your top half!
