I decided to buy a desk chair for our furnished apartment but didn’t like the affordable ones that came in a box from Ikea. So we went to a Furniture Bazaar near the Eden shopping center. They had both low-priced antiques and used furniture including a dozen chairs of the style that I wanted. But they don’t deliver small items. Since it was raining I decided to come back another day.
So I picked a sunny day and after the morning busy time on the trams to go back. Sure enough the tram I caught near the Bazaar was mostly empty, but did fill up by the time I got to the Nameste Miru transfer point. There I had to wait awhile for the next tram, which of course, made it quite full. But I barged on with the chair anyway and tried to give everyone an apologetic look. People looked at me but I did not see any sour looks until the next stop when I ran the chair into the legs of one passenger in order to allow another passenger off.
Karin had arranged to meet me at our stop for a photo opportunity, but the other people getting on and off spoiled the shot. So I just became a crazy old man with his rolling chair.
Our second discovery is that our local square, Jiriho z Podebad has a Farmer’s Market every Saturday morning. There are tempting goodies here as well but at least we can balance them with lush looking vegetables. They have the seasonal drink burčák but we have not sampled it yet because it seems to early in the day when we are there.
