The First Time

Cloudy. Scattered showers. Winds southwesterly averaging up to 50 km/h decreasing to 20 to 35 km/h later in the evening

Min 11 Max 17

There is always going to be a first time you do something, and Sunday 23.11.08 [or 11.23.08 for the transatlantic set] is going to be my first market. It is a Craft Cartel initiative to tie in with the Bicycle Film Festival which is being held in M Town at the moment. I am quite looking forward to it, especially after the last few months of tumult with house buying and moving, but the weather is looking especially welcoming.

Oh Melbourne - everyone knows the agreement is that it rains on Melbourne Cup Day [or failing that Oaks Day] so that underdressed, implausibly high heeled, drunken young women learn the folly of their ways - NOT WHEN SENSIBLE BIRKENSTOCK SHOED WOMEN WANT TO HAWK THEIR WARES!

Apart from the looming deluge, my principal concern is that I don’t have enough bike related merch for aforementioned hawking. I am linocutting some cards, and making some bike themed bags and pouches, but as we have juuuust finished moving I haven’t done anything.

The  update is that everything went well - no rain and the street party was very entertaining. No photos as the camera is still lost in packing!
