Market Friday... On Saturday, I know, but I keep missing Friday.

I couldn't resist judging this book by it's cover.

I found loads of cool treasure.

The Girl-before...

Before. I didn't anticipate that word would come into such high frequency in my posts when I impulsively chose a username based on a Picasso painting I like.

But I am so changed from the person I was before I started steemit.

I seldom go anywhere. But I know that needs to change. Whether due to an improvement in health or just pure determination, I need to do more, to be more.

So I was the little piggy that went to market a couple of weeks ago. I am sick of being the one who stays home.

We only spent around an hour or so. It did take a toll later, but it was nice.

As I hadn't been out much.

Any outing is a big deal, so I was sure to document my morning.

This great old tree was the first thing I saw, and the first thing I thought was tree Tuesday. 😂.

But then I thought, it looks a bit sad for tree Tuesday, and I don't want to make the old dog sad. So I have something else in mind for Tuesday. Although I'll probably post it on Wednesday @kus-knee.

This market is a community market on the weekends. It has an array of foods, second hand stalls, collectables, arts and crafts.

and there is a lot of lovely trees.

Not only a treed open space this large urban area is home to community initiatives that support the community including environmental initiatives, youth programmes, arts and theatre studios, a community garden nursery, affordable food depot, children's services, and animal rescue.

In Sydney it seems every last piece of available land has had an apartment building placed on it in recent years.

This space has been heritage listed, so hopefully it will remain in the community for a long time to come.

and an art centre that has created a beautiful bush sculpture play area for kids and big kids too.

It is also home to this upcycling enthusiasts favourite place to gather treasure.

Thecreverse garbage centre that I have posted about before. I noticed the post is 3 months old. So it is 3 months since I went somewhere other than a medical appointment.

Well, I finally finished my Saturday night, Market Friday report and it's Sunday morning where I am, if I'm going to be honest.

I have plans to go to a park this morning with my family. They are plans we had for yesterday, but yesterday was... Today will fantastic!


@dswigle is the original market Friday steemian.

Check out her posts and follow for some cool market adventures.

Markets really are where communities can still be found. Even in a place like Sydney where we all live in our own little boxes.

I did it @dswigle, I may not have posted on time but I went to market!
