Day 290 - Saturdays in October

I never tire of Saturdays. The violin shop was the last of our series of Saturday destinations. I'll come back to that.
The doughnut van is the first thing I see most Saturday mornings when I arrive at Victoria Market. As long as I remember it's been in the same spot. Note the old-fashioned spelling.

My first stop is at the egg stall. I remember when white eggs were commonly sold, but now you have to look for them. I always get these at Easter time when we colour them.

The outdoor flower stall adds colour to the visual delights of the market.


Bread's good here, and I hope they never get rid of the old signage.

Back to the violin shop, we got a shock when we went to have Mr 16's violin bow rehaired and were told it wasn't worth repairing. The cost of a new bow for his level starts at $1,000. Starts!! A good bow can be $10,000 and up to $20,000. I will now attempt to lift my jaw from the ground.
