Saturday 6/Mar

Today I dropped all the fruit and veg in the carpark outside the market because the bottom of the box fell through... needless to say we had to go back inside to get new eggs!

I love eating Easter eggs when it's not Easter!

Happy Chinese New Year!
Happy Valentines Day!

Yesterday I was at Woolies and noticed that all the asians were buying HEAPS of orange, yellow and red fruits!... I had to almost fight one lady for some nice red-globe grapes, and there were sadly only a few, tiny, apricots left in the barrel, and don't even start me on mangoes! later in the afternoon Nat and I were on our way out to ravage the local Good Sammies, and I was exclaiming at what I had seen earlier... Nat was like "duh Molly it's Chinese new year!!" apparently the yellow/orange/red round fruits symbolise so many good omens in Chinese culture that you get heaps of them on CNY for good luck. here were some that I could remember Nat's mum reeling off:
Money,
Eternity (circle),
Equality,
Prosperity,
Opportunity
Good Harvest,
and so many more...
so that's why Chinese restaurants always have circle tables, and that's why I ate 2 gold Easter eggs today... it's totally because of CNY :D

Have a good one!

Molly

P.S. Tonight is a new moon... perfect for playing Spotto in the park!
