To market, to market

This morning we went to the Rocklea Markets. On Saturdays they sell fruit and veges, freshly baked breads, plants and flowers.

We got some gorgeous homemade quiches (2 for $10), containers of olives and fetta ($14 worth), a crunchy loaf of bread ($3), 2 freshly squeezed orange juices ($5) and all our fruit and veges for $18 which I thought that was pretty good.

I think I might try make a trip out there fortnightly (if possible), but I'll just see how long this fruit lasts and see how much ends up getting thrown out.

We came home and had a lovely lunch with the breads, olives etc and Dom actually fell asleep in the car driving home, so he had a rest whilst Kenz and I went to the Auction which was in the next street (Orchid). It's a lovely house and we know they want $900,000+ for it, but the auction started at $800, there was a bid for $820 and then the vendors bid went to $860 where the auction ended as the house was passed in.

I'm not so sure about auctions, maybe the auctioneer started to high as there was no momentum. It would have been nice if there was a bit more bidding. I think if you got that house for $850,000 it would have been a great buy. It's on a double block (890) and had a pool and 5 bedrooms (but 3 were downstairs with the theatre room).

I think if we buy another house, I want one where all the living is downstairs and the bedrooms are up and that way I can just easily see the kids playing outside, without having to stand at the kitchen window and look over the deck (like I do here).

It's very hard to find a house that has everything we want (especially with needing someone for the business) and we need at least a double car lock up - even this house in Orchid St only had a single lock up (like our house).

After Dom woke up and had lunch I took them both to Brookside, I just had to exchange a shirt as mine had buttons missing on it and buy some shaving cream for Ben.

Then we watched 27 Dresses - that was a good movie.
