We need to be mindful that we have Lidia with us and she has her limits as far as sitting in a car and the distances she can walk goes these days.
We had heard about the Kingscliff Market, which was on today.
A short 40ish minute drive got us there with only a few detours, solely due to my day dreaming .... mainly about how I am going to manage my time when we get home.
There were about 50 or so stalls ranging from vegetable ones selling horrifically expensive local produce spruiked as organic to magical potions that stopped just short of claiming to cure "rust".
Yes, the "organic" thing might be all well and good but some of the prices they were asking were just taking the piss.
The "curer" stall should have someone burn it to the ground for quackery and witchcraft.
Inked up lady discussing how she is looking forward to going to
Nimbin tomorrow whilst selling nice glass vases.
There's nothing like setting your look to "Leon Russell circa 1971" and selling pencil drawings of buxom naked young women to attract the wandering grannies.
Well may you laugh, but take it from me, this guy, after this pic, did "real good" at making sure the night was going to be a good one with the silver haired and crimson haired ladies on the left.
It works for some, not including me, so don't knock it.
I'm looking at this place and thinking "Where's the BIG sucker size bottle of snake oil?"
Nah, not really, but I can't publish what I was really thinking.
💣💣💣
$25/minute = $1500/hour
You'd think she could afford to buy some sandals to wear over her socks
But wait, there's more.
Not only can you have your body scanned, which may save your life,
for only $25 and in one minute
BUT
you can also get some HCG Drops for $95 with which you will lose 10kgs in 21 days.
HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) is the hormone women make when they are pregnant .
Lord spare me and hold me back!
I hope she believes in that shite 'cos it goes a little of the way to excusing her.
Finally, dear readers, I present to you the "Shark Peeler".
Being sold as "blah blah .... safe ..... blah blah ..... quick ..... efficient ...... blah blah .....
always sharp ...... foolproof ...... blah blah blah ....... "
When one of the people looking asked if he could try it she responded
"Oh no, I'm sorry. It would contravene my insurance policy. But you can just see how well it works."
I said loud enough for all to hear
"You need to change your insurance policy 'cos you're getting ripped off!"
All the onlookers laughed. She sneered.
I am passionate about my peelers so don't try to con me ðŸ˜
We came home, had Lidia's pasta for lunch and then went for a walk along the beach.
Even when it's breezy and cooler than normal it's still very pleasant and you can walk for a very long way before having to turn back.
Tiz spotted this fine looking example of a 1970 Holden rumpety rumpeting down the Esplanade
I heard it from the 20th floor and I'd say it was sporting a big block Chev with a very large cam.
Oh, sorry for the petrol head speak for those of you not into it.
We had planned to go out for a better than average meal and chose, based on some Zomato and Google+ reviews, Kookoo Teppanyaki and Lounge Bar.
It's getting to the point where we need a new way of finding out if places are genuinely good
because mainstream sites are not reliable.
The food was good, but expensive. Everything else was less than ordinary.
The only thing Japanese about this place was the word "teppanyaki".
All the staff were Chinese.
They only had one no-name brand of sake, despite their extensive drinks list.
The place was set up to cater for bucks and hens nights, footy club end of season nights
but not fine dining.
Lesson learnt.
Plate and sauces awaiting the vegetables and meats
Our teppanyaki chef.
A nice engaging guy that put on a good show with his utensils and cooked everything very well.
He wrote "Thank you very much!!" using a salt dispenser, and upside down, to him
I leave you with a thought for the day -
~ Everything good in life is either illegal, immoral or fattening. ~
