not strictly a biking moment, but...after going the long way into town (around Richmond on the river trail) I arrived at the market at 7.18 am desperate for that first coffee. I ordered a coffee at the sausage stand (they make the best), then someone else ordered a hot chocolate after me. Then I noticed that the other person got her drink first, and a little jar of mustard as a Christmas thank-you to a regular. Hmph, I thought, and considered politely inquiring why my coffee had been bumped.

then when it came, I got a little jar of mustard too. another lesson in not getting grumpy too quickly, I suppose.

now, if only the donut van would change back to being open before 8 am...have been getting serious withdrawal symptoms. and was reduced to munching on a healthy banana this morning.
