The Perfect Day.

Grateful for the entire day. Every moment was just full of awesome today, really :)

Soo, the plan was to go to the markets by myself, wander about, drink coffee, be a solitary little creature and such. But, life is what happens when you make plans, and today life was in a good mood.

Got to the markets at about eight thirty, browsed around by myself for awhile. Plan began to go marvellously awry when I ran into Andy and Rach. Thai food, tie-dye and a lot of scarves :) Vibey to hang out with, two very rad and lovely people. No need to talk all the time. Silence can be comfortable :)

They left at around noon, so I wandered through the new shop of groovy things in town, took photos out a window and of a wall, bought some badges and had a delicious coffee and listened to some equally delicious tunes that some guy with a guitar was playing; Market Day jamming in the afternoon at that particular coffee place. Walked to the chapel and back, bought a wonderful pen, spent hours wandering the bookstore. Left broke, as always :)

I've always found churches to be fascinating, and tranquil, places so I decided that since I had time and nothing to use it on, I'd wander up to the church and have a look. Door is locked [who locks a church?]. Turned away disappointed and who is striding over the road, key in hand? My grade 6/7 teacher. Stood in the doorway and chatted to her for, truly, hours about everything imaginable - politics, the state of the world, climate change, kids nowadays, what everyone from my old class is doing, what she has been up to, what I've been up to, what will I do next year, volunteering overseas, making a difference, the fulfilling feeling of helping to create a change or help others. She told me about her education and how she came to be where she is. Truly, it was one of the best talks I've had, particularly with an adult, for a long time. I then met her cat and she kindly gave me a lift home. It was great to see her again, and to have such a great chat :)

So, all those things I'm grateful for. Considering I planned for a quiet day, it turned out absolutely spectacular!

Happy Saturday, everyone!
