FARMERS MARKET


More of the same this week.  I kept busy at the office.  I’ve been in my old office for 2 weeks now since returning from the home apartment during lockdown.  So I’ve gotten used to being back in an office setting, a bit of an adjustment at first. Tuesday night pickleball started up again this week.  Alisa and I decided to start driving our own car so that we can decide when to arrive and return.  Otherwise my exercise program is still proceeding, 50 push ups and 50 touch your toes, then jogging, walking, bike riding or pickleball each day.
Saturday morning I organized an excursion by senior missionaries to the Otara farmers market.  This is my favorite such market because it is the largest, has the best selection and actually has good prices, much better than can be found in the stores.  I go every quarter or so.  We had a total of 9 missionaries attend.  I found mandarins for $1.49 per kilogram (2.2 pounds) while in the store they’re $5 per kilo.  Pineapples for 99 cents each, beautiful apples for 99 cents a kilo, and so forth. They had a typical winter selection of fruits and vegetables.  In the evening I took Alisa out to dinner at Bueno Sera in Devonport, then we came home and watched Singing in the Rain.
