Preston Market

[maxcelcat]

Made another of our now regular trips to Preston Market.

Amusing things which happened today:

Walking into the Organic food store, wearing jeans, my "I'm Blogging This" T-Shirt, and my rather nice long black jacket (come back, heat wave!). The guy behind the counter said "What are you doing here, you're far to well dressed!" I told him I was from Northcote - not sure if that was an explanation.

Spotted Martin Ferguson, the federal member for the seat of Batman, which covers Northcote and indeed Preston. He was wearing the daggiest pair of shorts and a stripy rugby top - so he fitted right in. I almost said hello, but he had that look of "someone's just recognizing me because I'm slightly famous" and so I left him alone :-)

evildoom_bunny and I had bubble tea, which is so not on my diet. In fact, I'm pretty sure it's not on anyone's diet.

Picked up a stack of tiger prawns. Hmmmm... Seafood.

Must go, off to a Gig.

Which bubble tea chain did you go to?

Um...

It was just a generic Asian place in the market.

Usually I go to a place in the arcade near the old Village cinemas. Or if I'm in Box Hill, there's a Happy Dog cafe (I think) which is pretty good.

You have an "I'm Blogging This" T-Shirt?????????

Oh I WANTS!

That would infuriate my girlfriend to absolutely no end. She hates the concept of a blog (probably because she doesn't understand it), and hates me mentioning my blog at all.

You want it...

Knock yourself out. There are a large number of other nerdy items on that site...

evildoom_bunny, my Significant Other, is quite the opposite, and has a matching t-shirt :-)

Martin Ferguson is in favor of extending Uranium mining.

Don't I know it! If I had buttonholed him, the second thing out of my mouth, after "Hello Martin" would have been "You've GOT to be kidding about the uranium thing!"
