Making Space for New Memories...

Salt Spring Market

Hippo gets very frustrated when she forgets her umbrella or tote bag somewhere during her travels. "Forgetting", scientists say that by forgetting it makes space for new memories. It is necessary for the brain to forget in order to make space for the new memories. The scientists have experimented on the memories of fruit flies.
That 's what we discussed at coffee today as Alveus had forgotten his camera at a pet shop but fortunately got the camera back. After our visit at the cafe, many of my friends and I went off to the market to purchase fresh fruit and vegetables for the next week. There were many people at the market shopping,with big smiles on their faces. just enjoying the surroundings and carrying several bags of goodies. I think that the vendors are wonderful, and extremely interesting people. Most of them actually grow what they are selling or are crafters who are selling their crafts. I find most of them very genuine people. After completion of our purchasing, we met for a very short visit, and then each of us went our separate way.
