Market Day
One of the many nice things we've been doing is going to the Queen Victoria Market for our weekly shopping. While my parent's assure me that its full of inner-city-yuppies and has been totally spoilt we decided to brave the yuppie-enclave and have a look for ourselves. I remember going there as a child and also later as a student so it's not just a vegie-thing. There's a nostalgic element as well.
It HAS changed and there are a few of the aforementioned-yuppies but then I suppose they have a right to eat too? I'm sure South Melbourne Market will be cheaper but for now we're happy having fun doing this. Every Friday morning we set off with a vague idea of what we need which is rapidly abandoned in the confusion of the produce halls, we struggle over to the fruit and veg where everything is bought with my juicer in mind, leaving us a bit short of leafy-greens, before emerging dazed and confused from the socks, vietnamese lanterns and mobile-phone covers back in the car park. Yes, we even use the paid-parking which just shows how fundamentally un-Australian we've become!
