I get to meet some pretty interesting people aka characters at the local craft market. Take today for instance. This morning a lady told me she used to love to knit but arthritis put an end to her favourite hobby. Then she proceeded to reveal to me her pain remedy. You take some white raisins (even told me where to buy them) and put them in a jar. Pour in enough gin to cover the raisins and loosely cover the jar. Leave it to sit on the counter for a couple of weeks and voile'. Instant pain relief by ingesting one tablespoon of gin and raisins. Sounds quite logical to me. I just want to know......what are the raisins for?

Then there's the dirty old man who comes by my booth every week to tell me disgusting, stupid "jokes". His favourite is this:
DOM - I used to sew but I had to give it up.
Tormented listener - Why?
DOM - Because I don't menstrate.

Then there were the five ladies who walked by. They were all of varying ages and their all carried the exact same handbag with palm trees and pink flamingos on them. Had they been a bit closer to my booth I might have asked if they belonged to a gang.

Next Sunday is the last craft market until next May. I'm going to miss these interesting people.........maybe not the dirty old man.
