@Bow market!! Yippee! Tho maybe not if you're ultra-low-energy. Is this the first one for a while?
Ick, more packing!! You just got done with that tho! lol oh dear

Yeah this is the first one in like 3 mths I think @Jynx we have missed 2 and if we missed this one we would lose our spot.
Super low energy. How many energy drinks do I pack? Ha my CM asked me today if I’m still drinking them and I said yep. And she was like ‘just one though?’ I nodded. I know I know. They aren’t good for you. But I justify it cause I don’t drink coffee. Hopefully the early morning freeze will give me some buzz to keep going.
Car is packed. Hopefully we haven’t forgotten anything.
we just watched some fireworks. Our new house is up on a hill and in the same suburb as they let off all the fireworks for all the town events.

@Bow ach, the perils of moving house eh? You excited to be back amongst all the artsy fartsy folks tho? Hehehe
Ay I can't judge, I used to drink several a day too 😅 I think one or two is okay as an in-the-meantime thing, is it cos you don't like the taste of coffee? I only have two cups of coffee a day, pretty sure that's what all the health pros say is okay.
Fireworks spot?! That's awesome!! Do they go off frequently? Hope it dosn't keep you up!

Yep @Jynx it is a good vibe at this country market. Wish I could share it with ya. It was heaps freezing this morning though. Thick fog rolling over the fields. I had my big puffer jacket that I got for our trip to the UK, so I was mostly warm except for my toes and my fingers. Lots of puppy dogs in their coats.
D and I have Dutch pancakes for breakfast.
I may of had double the recommendation today of energy drinks. I needed it! I love the smell of coffee just hate the taste. I’ve tried it with hot chocolate- like a mocha but the tiniest amount of coffee, can still taste it. Done the same with a dirty chai.
fireworks- maybe a hand full of times a year.
I’m tired now. Curled up in bed.

@Bow aww sounds so wholesome!!
Any cool art or stuff that made you go 'ooooooo'?
Honestly, I was the same with coffee until I did this barista course! We had to taste test to see the difference when pouring in diff ways. It also meant I got to taste a well-made coffee. Even with how famous Australia is for our coffee, I still find that it's incredibly rare to find a barista who can make a GOOD coffee. The indicator for me? I don't need sugar in it. 99% of the time, I need to add a couple teaspoons of sugar or some syrup!
There's a place on Little Lonsdale down here called 'Sensory Lab' I think - only place I've found (so far) where I can just order a latte as is and drink it. It's sooooo delicious.
But I guess if you're used to red bull... 😅
Awww enjoy your afternoon power down!!
😊

Lotsa cool art @ @Jynx And I love it when people bring their art to work on while at market. I stood and watched a guy paint for a bit.! Came across another girl whose little business name is the same as mine except for our names. She drew animals.
Yeah we use to have a big proper cafe coffee machine at our church. She was my responsibility. I set her up every Sunday, maned it most weeks and then packed it up again. I loved it. Loved the sweet aroma. But yeah hated the taste.
my energy drink of choice is usually sugar free V. But Aldi have a really nice pine lime at the moment which I’m loving.
how are you today @Jynx ?

@Bow aww love it!! And yes it's a special treat getting to watch an artist at work!!
Oooh pine lime!! Anything like a Splice? My fav pine lime ice cream hehe
I'm not too shabby, got my five minny of sunshine earlier (noooood sunbathing in the winter, so lush! teeeheee) and just enjoying the weekend vibes here now!!
