"One man's junk is another man's treasure!"

"One man's junk is another man's treasure!"

Just had a great day, a full day and a nice day. Alot of Sjonshine and not even cold. Today I planned to go to the flea market in Hengelo. Hengelo is a city near by Almelo, It is about thirty minutes with a bike. This morning I took it easy, I had a nice shower and the laundry was just about done when I wanted to take of to the market. I left around 12 noon and arrived an hour later at the market, the market was inside and was huge. The bike ride went okay, it was further then I thought, lol, but okay, I managed. 


I looked around and enjoyed myself, I could have taken a million pictures of the nicest things I saw. And Isaw really everything, I did not miss a thing. Alot of antique and alot of Delfts blauw and Boerenbont dishes, pottery, etc. See Wikipedia, Boerenbont and Delfts blauw. There nice to look at but there not comming in my kitchen. I like the antique old fashion stuff I saw, there so old that they could be sold modern again, lol. I bought four old fashion cans for a nice price, I could not actually believe the price, cause five minutes ago I saw the same cans being sold for 22 Euro. I bought the four cans for 7 Euro, lol. Sometimes you have to be lucky, right?



I did not want to spend much money, I took some money with me what I could spend for this day. I bought aswell three comic books from Asterix and Obelix, I used to read these books when I was six or seven. I saw more comic book but I though, these will do it for now. The market was huge and perhaps I will be seeing more what I like. There were loads of kids clothes and toys, perhaps parents digged out the toy boxes from there childeren, lol. In the end I really saw enough though, it was getting all much of the same, so many little stuff. Next time I should take more pictures, but I did not want to cause the sellers might get upset. Every picture I took I asked first for permission. 




I did not even know what time it was, but I planned to retrurn home, but first an icecream. I bought a large one, and it was filling. I looked and checked what I bought, two little wooden shoes, three comic books, four cans for in the kitchen and two presents for someone in Canada, it is her Birthday soon. Ooh I saw alot of stuff what I could buy for her, but in the end I saw just to much. This sure will not be my last visit to a flea or second hand market, it felt like I was in Goodwill but much bigger. After my icecream I returned home, what a ride it was, I was exhausted when I got back. I thought dinner can wait a while, first a sit down. It was 5:30pm when I got back, nice time. 



Above the treasure I bought, nice. Tomorrow I will relax and just do nothing, everything is done. Laundry is clean, groceries are bought, showered, the house is clean, it is all good. A few updates, I sent a message to my provider telling them I found a rootkits virus on my old laptop and that I got rit of it, I hope that they don't send me any messages again, I dislike it! I heard nothing yet from Saf that she shipped my belongings, did she shipped it already? I do not know, maybe she did, maybe she did not. I will ask her again after a month, I do not like it when she does not response, but I am not gonna waste my energy in getting upset. After a month I will perhaps know more...................or not.
