I had a much-needed coffee in Charlie's, before heading to town for some provisions - mainly beer!- and another coffee

Always sad when the etch disappears (well that one anyway, there have been a few GEC etches I'd be glad to see goneThanks fellas.
I’ve tried to hold on to the iconic blade etch for as long as possible but things will happen….

Me too Jeff, but I actually ended up having a Beaujolais, a decent Beujolais, but I don't think I have drunk any of the Beaujolais for 20 years or more. The English used to have a long love affair with the wine, which I think was partly based on the fact that the generic name was easily pronouncedI do like a good CDP, especially with a nicely grilled ribeye. Jack, you're makin' me hungry!
Another great pic Steve
I just can't get over all those fantastic names Jack - cracks me up every time!It's been so quiet on the market recently, Tool Man is actually thinking of calling it a day, though he has been saying the same most of the time I've known him. Still, he had barely had a sale in the 3 hours I was down there. Nobber Al was knocking again, as he very often does. Likewise the Perfume Fatties, and a bunch of the other regular traders. When I arrived, Gravel was there, for the first time in several weeks, and Scooby made a brief return visit. I had a chat with Captain Birdseye, and Golden Gordon, and Big J, Harry Hotballs, and Slimline Scott all passed by. Boring Ray didn't have a single sale while I was there. Tool Man took his time eating a steak slice, and Ray and Gravel had one two, and we shared a bit of cake. Tool Man reprimanded Boring Ray for telling one of his terrible jokes, which I thankfully didn't hear. I did hear, "Mundo [as in Raymundo], you first told me that joke in 1975! It wasn't funny then, nor on any of the other hundred occasions you've told it since!" Ray, totally resigned to being boring, simply apologised. Once again though, it was a very uneventful morning, and the only real character who we spotted was a strange-looking 'cowboy', wearing a huge hat, 2 dramatically different boots, dude pants and shirt, and straddling an odd-looking walking stick, which he rode at a slow trot, absolutely mad as a box of frogs!

After saying farewell, I went to get a bit of shopping, then called in at Charlie's for coffee and a pastry. I have a zoom meeting later, and hopefully Wolfie is going to call round for a bit. I hope everyone is having a great day![]()
That is such sad news, Markets have such a great atmosphere!Possibly the funniest thing were the boots, which he had his pants tucked into, they weren't just different colours, they were completely different boots!I don't know if he has another pair at home like that
It's very sad the way that the city council have deliberately sabotaged it, the process started a long time ago, but all the traders know its in its final stages now![]()

I hope things get better Jack, CBD oil?Good morning Guardians, I hope everyone is well, and ready for the weekend. I'm not sleeping too good again, which I think is just down to my sleep apnoea, or my hiatus hernia, or bothI called in at the docs the other day to try and make an appointment to get a referral, but after standing there for 10 minutes, watching the receptionist studiously ignoring the 2 people in front of me, I went for coffee instead
As it's the Carnival weekend here, (something else the Council are trying to steal), and a 4 day weekend, I need to stock up a bit, as Sunday and Monday, I won't be able to get out of the area at all, and Saturday will be busy too. My works meeting was brief, but positive, last night, and at at some point I have some work to do, but I'm not sure when it's going to come in, hopefully not when I've been drinking rum!
I hope your Friday goes well Guardians
