Been busy at the markets lately. The tray cloths were bought at the Shabby Chic market in Rutherford Street, Woolston, last Sunday. And the wonderful marketing basket was from a local garage sale.
Easter is now nearly over, the weather has been really beautiful. I worked the first three days, but had today off to go to Odering's garden sale. Three camellias for $10.00 each, a Moorpark apricot for $20.00, a clutch of four Barnhaven primroses, and assorted $1 specials. Planted my anemones in pots too.
Got really annoyed with a Christian group yesterday. They appeared in the gardens with a trestle full of Hot Cross buns and propagandist literature, hoping to get The Message across with free food. After a complaint from a member of the public about indoctrination they got a flea in their ears. I took one of their flyers to write a letter of complaint to the church in question, they were one of those evangelical groups, the most obnoxious kind that can't leave other people alone. The flyer was the usual crap about how we are all miserable sinners who are going to burn in Hell for all eternity if we don't accept Jesus and stop sinning. "Well, it's a lovely autumn holiday afternoon, you're enjoying the gardens with your friends and family, feeling good about life, but we "Christians" can take the shine off that. -You gon' fry in hell, brothers and sisters, fry in Hell!" No one will convince me to convert to a God who will quite happily condemn his own creation to eternity in agony for not obeying him. It's a form of bullying - do it His way or else. And His way is really their way, they've made him in the image of themselves. Miserable humourless bastards with their petty, vindictive, grudge-bearing God.
What would Jesus have done? Told you to enjoy the sunshine and admire the pretty leaves.
