"Hey. You'll never guess what happened this arvo. I'd just chucked a u-ee down George Street, done the dogleg near Paddys, and grabbed the parking possie just near the rego office. Almost missed the boat there cos another car tried to snap up the spot. I'd figured it was Murphy's law if I did miss out but the other sucker stalled and I was in like Flynn, a perfect fit and Bob's yer Uncle. (I'd taken a sickie as I'd heard that there was a sale underway at Paddy's Markets.)

"When I got in, there were hundreds of sales. It was mind-boggling. I thought I had Buckley's of getting what I wanted cos there were tons of people everywhere. I had my old bags as I thought they'd come in handy but straight away found that everyone gave them out as freebies.

"I headed to the fruit and veggies, having a captain cook for some taters. Found that they weren't up to scratch and so I couldn't make up my mind. But then, as luck would have it, a new stall opened!

I was able to kill two birds with one stone as they had everything I wanted. I real bewdy, bonza stall. You've got to check it out! They're right at the back on the left.

"Catch ya"
