Off To Market....

..well, not really - it was not my intention ....I had not meant to...but there it was! 

I had to pick up a book at the library and voila! Market day! It has been so long since I have thought of - or seen - anything other than my own back yard, I had forgotten that Wednesday is market day in Whitby and it is held in the open courtyard of the library! 

Well, how fortuitous...I have not been out shopping since I got home from hospital - friends have been picking up what I need and here I was, out on my own for the first time in ages, in need of a green vegetable and there right before me? Heaps of them! Perfect! And a blip that is not a day lily! 

Today's little adventure was sort of a test run, not a trip to the market.... I have had to stay close to home these last few weeks, waiting for things to settle down after surgery..and I wasn't sure if my erratically behaving body was ready to handle an outing. Tomorrow is my long-awaited post-op appointment with the surgeon back at the hospital and I was worried about getting there and back with no issues.. Seems I need not have worried. The test run went well. I just have to plan on a long nap afterward...

That little outing this morning, although it took less than half an hour, tired me out. I came home, had lunch and then promptly fell asleep until dinnertime! It seems that stamina is not my strength these days... I will need to work on that....the hill towns of France will require it...

Now to make my list of questions for the surgeon.....
