Saturday.


Saturday turned out to be lovely. I found some little things for my cabinet of random shit at Kolaportið fleamarket. I've been working on the cabinet for a while. At the market I found a tiny lead typewriter, miniature coffee grinder also made out of lead, 2 mini native Americans, a small cowboy and a really nice plastic totem pole. I bought it from a kooky lady. As I was paying, she told me I could pick out two more toys for free. She seemed excited about it and talked to me like we were in a club together. I guess it means that I'm also a kooky lady and she knew about it even if I didn't. Maybe I'll be invited one day to a tea ceremony with all the strange ladies and their leader will give me a handsewn and laminated membership card. There I would sit smiling among the crazy cat ladies and purple haired women with big glasses,

The evening was spent in the company of my eight year old niece. We played four kind of games, Mikado, Black Peter, Go fish and a board game called Ticket to ride. My niece is a very clever kid and it's always a pleasure to watch her win, or lose for that matter. She get's very angry but only for a short period of time. Then it's back to games and fun. I don't let her win because she can beat me all by herself. We ate candy and the loser of each game got a violet dot on her nose. Lovely.
