I am so happy right now
It's a good thing that I am so easily pleased. Right now I am about three strawberries short of complete bliss, having just come back from the once-a-week Arad shuk (market) with a "granny wagon" loaded to the brim with fresh fruit and veges. Those of you who know me will already have detected the two key sources of my current joy: yes, I have a brand new granny wagon, it's not quite as beautiful as my red tartan one in Welly (hope you're enjoying it, Michelle!), but very capacious and I can already tell it's going to get a lot of use! And of course, there are few things that I love more in this life than a granny wagon loaded with fresh fruits and vegetables, and here in Israel fresh produce is unbelievably good and unbelievably cheap. In the face of such temptation I couldn't hold back; when my wagon was groaning and threatening to capsize under the weight of my delicious bounty, I knew I had to stop. Adding this to the bread, tuna, and giant tub of hummus I bought at the supermarket this morning, I am set for the week, thanks very much!!

ReplyDeleteI share your joy, Rach! I, by contrast, am so sad right now because we missed out on the Welly Sunday markets and so we have sub-standard supermarket fruit and veges at the moment. Roll on Sunday so that we can take our own granny wagon down to the markets to load up on goodness - and naughty chocolate raisins : )
ReplyDeleteI remember the fresh dates (like melt in your chocolate) and fresh pomegranates from Israeli markets. My mouth is watering.
