The downtown market looks like a great spot to spend an hour or two.
ReplyDeleteI love markets like these. I haven't been to one in awhile. Great pics!
ReplyDeleteThe mural is colorful and pretty. The river views are lovely.
ReplyDeleteI have seen pigeons lined up on the wires, they have good balance.
The art festival looks fun! Take care, have a great day and a happy new week!
What a great post! Something for every interest. The Kanneh-Mason family are a huge resource of musical talent.
ReplyDeleteLove the pumpkin ceramics and kitty ceramics. That salmon and chicken katsu look amazing!!! Yum!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos and a lovely mural.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing all the gorgeous fall decorations. They delight me.
ReplyDeleteIcelandic Noir sounds remarkable. I like the idea of that setting. I read one excellent mystery set in Iceland long ago. Thanks for sharing the link to your review of The Vegetarian.
Apart from the colourful mural there's much to see here.
ReplyDeleteI like the new mural and the one painted on the shop window. The ceramic pumpkins are cute. Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Mae
ReplyDeleteSo much good stuff, it's fun hanging out with you! I like walking by the river and so much more. Have a wonderful day and be sure to tell us about it. Aloha
ReplyDeleteThat's a very colorful mural. I like it.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed seeing the river and the kayaker.
It's great you visited the Art Fair. I missed ours this year. I haven't felt like going out. Lots of nice pottery and the mugs and cups were beautiful. Some were a bit strange, which was fun.
Loved seeing the gourds. A very nice selection.
You certainly gave us an eclectic mix of things to view, especially the mugs for T this week, dear.
Good collection of eclectic photos. It's been awhile since I've caught up with Martin Walker, I'm going to look for that book.
ReplyDeleteYou had a busy and lovely looking week Mae. I'm going to head over and read your review of the Vegetarian now that it has come to my attention winning the N. prize, and it sounds interesting. Glad you liked Reyjkavik. I have that book in audible account all downloaded but other books keep getting in its way. :) I hope you not only have a nice T day but also as exciting a New week as last week was. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteArtoberFest sounds great! We have some art-festival here, too, but I do not feel creative since months. I just enjoy all the blogs around and I love those pumpkins!
ReplyDeleteFabulous murals, food and I love all the places you've visited too 😊. Those glass and real pumpkins are amazing - perfect! Wishing you a very Happy T Day! Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteLovely photos. I love the one with the pidgeons.
ReplyDeleteAll those pumpkin and gourds, they point towards Halloween. It's not long now.
I don't know the books you mentioned but I'm going to look at the link to The Vegetarian.
Happy T-Day,
Lisca
Such a fun post. A Totoro restaurant. My girlies loved Totoro when they were little. Love the cat mugs, too. Happy T Day
ReplyDeleteThese photos are beautiful. The decorations are so colorful.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read that particular book yet, but I did buy the Kindle version of The Reykjavik Noir Trilogy by Lilja Sigurdardóttir for 99 cents. I plan to read it this winter!
Thanks for sharing all these beauties
ReplyDeleteI'm glad for your review of the Han Kang novel ... I think I would like to read it ... even with all its strangeness. It's amazing she won the Nobel Prize.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely October days! I have what could be the same gourd picture on my post -- I think I've taken the same one every year in fact, but I never get tired of seeing them! ... I've read Reykjavik (and all the Iceland mysteries I've been able to check out) and thank you for the reminder of Bruno. I read those books regularly for quite a while a couple of years ago, but somehow lost track -- amazing food descriptions, and fun characters await my eyes -- and oh I expect there will be a mystery or two to solve as well )). ... Unsurprisingly, there's a several-month Library waiting list for The Vegetarian and I am parsimonious about buying books.
