Went to the fabric market, didn’t buy any fabric

I am again short on time, today I’m going to do all the things I need my eyes for this week because tomorrow will be my second cataract surgery which also means I’ll be offline again for a few days.

The boy and I went to the big Dutch fabric market in Dachau yesterday right after breakfast. Well, after breakfast for me, he wasn’t up in time to eat something before we needed to get the train.

We took two trains and a bus and came out on a huge parking lot with lots of fabric vendors. We had a list and very specific ideas what we wanted. Red canvas and some other white cotton fabric for the boy’s costume, some t-shirt fabric, something woven, preferably with flowers in bright colors for a summer dress for me and some fat quarters to make a bucket hat.

Most of what we found were lightweight viscose fabrics, knit fabric in pastels and lots and lots of fleece and sweatshirt fabric. There was some nice upholstery fabric but that was more expensive than we wanted to spend. So we looked at everything but did not find what we were looking for for the boy.

As for my own list, with so many options I felt unable to choose anything and so I decided not to buy anything.

We went looking for the bus back which turned out to be harder than expected and went back to Dachau. Since we were there anyway we decided to walk up to the castle because the boy had never been there before.

It was rather nice and the view was spectacular.

That’s Munich on the horizon, complete with the Olympic Tower.

The plan was to have lunch at the castle. We sat outside and asked for menus that showed more than the coffee and cake menus that were lying on the tables.

The menus came and it turned out that the castle restaurant is really, really expensive. Plus, none of the dishes sounded appealing to me as well. So we ordered some iced chocolate:

Then we walked back to town always looking for a place where we could find something proper to eat but mostly failing until we reached the station and got ourselves some falafel in pita bread. Very yummy:

Even if eating it sitting on the train platform was not the most delightful setting.

We went back home, talked to my husband, then did our thing for a while until we met again for bodyweight training and dinner.

After that I had a Zoom meeting with a writer friend that showed I was pretty tired at this point, did the dishes together, I wrote this post and went to bed.

Today will be the last super packed day this week and then it’s all sitting still and giving myself time to heal until next week.
