Still picnicking in the park!

("Picnicking" always looks misspelled to me!). Yup, it's Wednesday so I went along to the Farmer's Market Picnic-in-the-Park this evening (I seem to be settling into a routine of going there every other week). It was an absolutely beautiful autumn/fall evening: warm and sunny (I was wearing shorts and a tee-shirt). I enjoyed a burrito (a tortilla filled with all manner of good things: chicken, beans, salsa, cheese, sour cream and guacamole in this case) while listening to the band (a very good all-woman group playing some nice blues and folk music — their multi-part vocal harmonies on the folk songs were superb).

After that I picked up some fruit — it's always nice to be able to sample the produce before buying. There are still strawberries and grapes available, but I suspect the offerings are going to start to get a bit thin as we get into the colder part of the year. Daylight-savings time comes to an end soon, which will mean it gets darker an hour earlier in the evening (a very unpleasant phenomenon when you're not used to it, as I discovered in the year I spent in Bristol) and I guess the picnic-in-the-park will become a rather less enticing way of spending Wednesday evenings then.
