This is one of the local cafes situated on the road next to the Grey River and they serve mostly vegan and vegetarian food - I haven't tried their coffees yet but maybe that's something for me to do at some point. I'm glad they can handle being open 7 days a week, as for me I'm working 6 days this week because work is expected to me so busy. I'm kind of sad that next week will my last week working in supermarket retail after doing it on and off over the years since I was 18 years old but it feels like it's time for something new.
I did however manage to harvest some broccoli out of my vegetable/herb garden but we gave it to a work colleague who has been generous in giving us free range eggs from his chickens every week. It's neat when you can swap food with other people isn't it?
Lastly it's not often I see my doctor but I have done so twice in the last 2 months. Once was to get the flu vaccine and the other was to get another type of vaccine. As many of you have been reading my posts you would've seen that Winter this year was not good - I was sick just about every week with a different bug each time and in the end I got quite run down and exhausted. The 2nd vaccine I got was one my doctor suggested which was a 3 in 1 consisting of whooping cough, diphtheria and tetanus. The 100 day cough that goes around here is part of the whooping cough so I'm hoping next year I will be alot more better off
Linking up with Mosaic Monday and Blue Monday.

Having friendly neighbours is wonderful. We exchange eggs, fish, garden produce and K fixes small appliances. It's a great system and having someone hand half a dozen eggs 'over the fence' just makes our day
Strict vegan food is trendy. But they seem to be more pricey for some reasons
Doesn't look very crowdy.
...take care and stay well.
Not many people here have gardens that grow veggies. Maybe because it rains so much and we don't get lots of sun.
Cool street shot!
Hope the vaccines will keep you healthy throughout the next year (or however long they're supposed to be efficient). I've been told I had whooping cough before I was 1 years old - I had just learned to walk but then stopped because of coughing so much. (Of course I don't remember any of that myself, though.)
Good for you for getting those vaccines. I get mine every year without fail.
Joining you from Mosaic Monday! So sorry to hear that you have been ill. I hope that the coming year is better for you. We don't have veggies to swap with our neighbors, but my husband is a marvelous cook, and that is his love gift to our neighbors!
It's storming outside ... how cozy I can sit here at the PC and write comments. I can well understand your sadness about leaving the supermarket. Rest assured, there are also nice things to do in retirement. I am practicing it.
I'll keep my fingers crossed for your fragile health that the cough will pass and that the vaccinations will help you prevent anything worse.
Thank you for this wonderful post on
MosaicMonday
Hugs from Heidrun, I wish you a pleasant time
