For this weekend I had planned to make a nice Indian dinner for Marion and me. Of course there were some special things, like cardemon and curry leaves, needed. But I was convinced that I would be able to get those at the Bazaar of Beverwijk.
This morning I waked up at around the time that is normal for me in the weekend. But Marion, who arrived yesterday rather late and was already then very tired, was still deeply asleep. I got out of bed and I did leave Marion sleeping. Around two hours later I peeked into the bedroom and Marion was still far away in a land of dreams.
So I decided that go quickly on my own to the Bazaar, which is only 5 or 10 minutes bicycling away from where I life. I would just get the things I needed and then return quickly home. This way Marion could sleep a bit more. A good plan…
I could not have been much further then half way to the Bazaar when my iPhone started to ring and a sleepy voice asked where I was. I told Marion that I was just quickly to the Bazaar for some shoppings.
When she heard about the bazaar, she said that she would have loved to have go there as well. And so she told me to wait at the main entrance of the Bazaar for her. She would quickly take a shower and hurry there. I took a cup of coffee at the entrance while waiting there. She was really quickly there. And after some confusion about what is really the main entrance of the Bazaar we met there.
And so what was planned to be a short visit turned into a long stroll of some hours through the halls of the Bazaar. It is always fun what all is for sale there. Don’t expect super quality, but it is surely overall cheap. Mostly I don’t buy there that much. I just love to walk there around to watch things and people.
Finally we made it to the shop where I wanted to buy the things I needed for the Indian dinner, but sadly not all was available (or was known under another name and no one knew). So no Indian dinner this weekend. But back home I found a webshop where I could buy the things I needed, so the Indian dinner will be moved to the next weekend Marion is here with me.
So all with all, it was a nice afternoon at the Bazaar and not wasted time 🙂
