it has been at least half a year since i started a saturday entry with "i was at the market today". well, i was at the market today, and i can't tell you how glad i felt to be there, even if i couldn't find quite a few of the sellers i used to go to, and if the morning was somewhat squally. the weather, and the need to do some studying had made me hesitate this morning, but something in me was so - low - that i wanted to go - and see if i couldn't be happier, and now that i have gone my heart is really much gayer. i came home with an orange-honey-almond cake from the hungarian pastry and some hazelnut kisses fei asked me to pick up for her if i went. and flowers - purple ones, which the lady who sold them said would bloom starlike and i thought well that would be something to look forward to. walked home, and sleepy now.
