Mostly making jewellery and taking pics of small dog.
Some of the traders who took the whole of January off are appearing, all chatty and rested and looking forward to being back next week.
It’s cold, it’s been a long month and I’ve worked many extra days along with others so the market doesn’t look too empty.
So no, I don’t want to chat!

I saw about 10 long tailed tits fighting over the last fast ball so I thought I’d go and top it up. Have they come back? Of course not. They’ll have to hope there’s still some left tomorrow 🤣

Small dog has gone into interior design. Moving around space in the kitchen is apparently overrated!

I’m planning to buy a new printer after Christmas. I dreamt about it last night and it worked beautifully. It doesn’t really exist does it? 😂

You’ve just died out something. The 6th whatever in your phone gallery is what killed you.
Happy with that 😀

I make and sell sparkly spiders during October. I have sold lots, most of the buyers have been ladies aged 60+!😂

The problem with dressing for the market with lots of layers is now I’m far too hot to enjoy my first coffee 🤷♀️
