We went to swapmeet a few Sundays ago. I was a little grumpy about it at first. Usually, I find it hard to sleep in on weekend, even if I’m tired – I wake up for apparently no reason much too early and once my eyes open my brain gets going and refuses to let me fall back to sleep. (It’s usually a struggle shutting my brain down in the first place to let me fall asleep the night before.) So anyway, on this Sunday, I was actually still in bed at 6am, feeling like I would stay in bed a while longer – but Jac said I should get up so we could go to swapmeet. We hadn’t been to swapmeet for a long time, and she reeeeally wanted to go – I didn’t want to disappoint her, so I got up. A little cranky, but I got showered and dressed and ready to go.
Swapmeet was good – I found some great book bargains (always, I buy books). We got hungry and shared a bacon and egg burger with fried onions and BBQ sauce. I found a spot out of the way to sit and take photos of it before we ate. I saw a few people looking curiously at me though (“Oh dear, look at the silly tourist!” Hahaha)
There wasn’t enough filling – every mouthful was mostly bread. But the burger was made to order and the freshly fried bacon, eggs and onions were tasty. Even if the bacon was wafer-thin.

Hmmmm. I hope it tasted better than it looked.
Your sleeping patterns sound like mine at that age; when you hit 42 likely it’ll change for the better. And I also always buy books (much to my husband’s chagrin, lol).

Hi TFP! I’m new in Perth. May I know where is the swapmeet? Is it on every Sunday? Thanks.

Okay, now you’ve done it TFP: Always mentioning BBQ sauce on breakfast sandwiches. This a.m. I made an egg and cheese breakfast sandwich and put a smear of BBQ sauce on it, out of curiosity.
It was delicious! :-)

Cindy,
Hah, we’ll see – that’s another 8 years or so! It tasted ok – like I said, too much bun.
Hawk,
There are swapmeets on all over Perth in different suburbs. Look in the West Australian newspaper on Saturday in the Classifieds section where they list garage sales and swapmeets for details. They are usually on Sundays. This one we went to was at Maddington (sorry, I forget the street name) – it’s held by the Rotary Club. I’m sure it’s listed in the newspaper too.
Cindy,
YES! Awesome! :D
