Look What I Bought

We went out to a big flea Market today. Usually in August we would not venture out to spend a morning wandering round an outdoor market as it is so hot. We had been out wandering the market for about half an hour and I was overheating. We were about half way up the length of the market and decided to sit at one of the café type stalls to have a cold drink. We had brought our little dog Bosun with us to the market. Because it was hot we had brought his collapsible bowl with us so we could give him some water. So there we were sat watching all the people walking past enjoying the market. As we drank our cool drinks a couple went past with a slightly smaller but older version of our dog Bosun. But the dog was not on a lead he was sitting in a purpose built dog pushchair. I said to my hubby “just look at that” and pointed at the pushchair, the dog looked like he was king of the castle. He was clearly enjoying his ride round the market in his purpose built pushchair. I said to my hubby “how neat is that I could just see Bosun in one of them” and we both laughed. We finished our drinks and carried on looking on the stalls. It wasn't long after that I told my hubby that I had seen enough and was ready to turn around. We started walking back, then my hubby said to me “look over there” and pointed to a market stall. On the stall there was a pink version of the dog pushchair that we had seen while we were having our drink. Isn't it funny how you see something that you have never seen before, and then you seem to see them all over the place. In my best Spanish asked the stall holder how much and he said 10 euro, that is a ridiculously low price. I could see that at that price my hubby really wanted it but was wavering. He was wavering because our Bosun is only two and a half years old so he is in no need of a push chair. I said to my hubby at that price it is worth getting for a laugh. Yes I know I am easily amused, you can tell that I don't get out much can't you lol.. So yes we bought it and laughed all the way home. Plus I stuck all the bits we had bought at the flea market in the pushchair and pushed it back to the car. It pushes like a dream and so it was worth the money if only to carry our stuff back to the car in. I am sure that it will get used even if it is not by us. We are involved with a local dog charity. Our friend Annie runs the charity and often fosters the dogs when they first come in. Some times if the dogs are ill Annie has to carry them round to see the local vet. So I can see this little beauty taking the strain out of the job in the future. What strange thing had you bought on a whim at a flea market or car-boot sale?
