Twice a month on Sundays the town holds a farmers market down on the creeklands. Dot and I sometimes attend, as was the case today despite the rather cold and blustery easterly wind. The markets sell mainly fresh produce, gourmet and ethnic foods, and home-made crafts. Today, for example, we bought some nice home-made pastries - one for each of us, Dot bought a jar of jam, and I bought four rather fragrant soaps and some fresh smoked trout for breakfast this coming week. The markets are also a good occasion to meet up with and chat to various friends. These pictures convey a good impression of the market stalls:

And this next guy really caught our attention! He's a cycling enthusiast involved in last week's campaign to get the community out of their cars and on their bikes when commuting to work or other social and sporting events. I participated myself and had to record all my journeys on the campaign web-site. In fact, here are my statistics! My 6 trips covered 71 km. I used an estimated 2161 calories in the process and saved 19 kg (42 lb) of CO2 emissions! These stats enabled me to come eighth of all the participants in the event. This said, the bloke on the bike here said that he'd made the contraption from spare parts he'd found and then he'd turned the bike into a device for making milk shakes. The faster he pedals, the faster he blends the contents of the glass container on the table in front of him. The audience was applauding, which explains his smile. He was really having fun!
