Willy Thorn, we call the flower man, was selling his flowers at the restuarants last night, and the man who sells
the kiddies flashing toys had them on a little barrow parked outside the Nil bar, selling wind up toy cats.

You should meet his cousin Willy Ecerslite.  Lovely bloke but he does not sell flowers, sell you glow in the dark toys, clean your shoes or indeed he will not guess your weight or weigh you on his scales.

We didn't see the boys with the scales at all during our recent stay.
Has anyone else seen them?

We remarked on that too Anne, didn't see them at all but thought it was maybe down to it being early in the season (first two weeks in May).

noticed today at sunday market that all the traders normally on the street selling water melons etc. have actually been moved into the market itself and off the main road. imo not before time. sunday market road is absolutely chaos with dolmuses and cars.
