Well I have been busy shopping for things for my new apartment I haven't had time to do my blog. On Monday I went to look at voile curtains I have nice blinds, but wanted curtains to dress the windows and look pretty and homely. The textile shop I went to on Strada Eminescu is fantastic . It makes me laugh when people say Romania is a backward country , I think UK have a lot to learn. The array of curtains and soft furnishings is awesome, They have a bedding department too and splendid haberdashery. I also thought I would call at the Piazza Mica ( big market) and get my fruit and veg. and some freshly baked bread it's yummy.
Tuesday I was off out again and had a hair cut and blow wave then met Helen a Scots lady who has lived here 10 years. We had a coffee in town , called for sheets of pork ribs at the Alimentara then she ran me home and we had Yorkshire tea and digestive biscuits and chatted.
Wednesday I have Rosanna she stayed last night and practised her knitting , she is doing very well and doing the purl stitch too.We had breakfast and did some cleaning then off to town again to pick up the curtains and called at Billa for food etc. So at least I have had a productive week so far.
It is only 17 days now to my visitors coming I can't wait and they are bringing goodies with them , Oxo cubes , jellies mixes for chili and bassets liquorice allsorts ha ha . Hope you like the pictures of the markets.

Even though you can't get Oxo cubes or Bassetts liquorice allsorts your shopping looks more interesting and far fresher than our UK supermarkets with their tired looking veggies. Most things in the UK are shrink wrapped as people are far too "germ" concious and I can't remember how long it is since I saw a sheet of pork ribs hanging in a butcher's shop. I am going to a farmer's market on Sunday where hopefully the veg will look as tasty as yours.
Although Angie and her Pattie are bringing lots of goodies from England it is my wonderful brother William who has go to the shops for everything!!!
