Loving this cold snap! Though it's making it harder to convince myself to get out and go for a run!

Hopefully people are enjoying the long weekend, mine's been spent at work!

Yeah, I need a team to convince myself once winter hits, like a cycling group or sport team.

Definitely! Joined a small running club recently which has been great in getting me back outside and braving the cold!

Just under two weeks until we move to Radelaide.

Adelaide is awesome. The roads make sense and there's less people.

there's less people

We noticed. Hung out in the city on a public holiday. It was empty. We could have filmed a sequel to The Quiet Earth.

Oh no! You can't be leaving the Sydney community!

Anyways, hope it all goes smoothly and you love it.

Anyone knows of those good green grocer shops that sell fruit and veg at lower prices or with better varieties than the chain supermarkets but on the north side of Sydney?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

You could always try a Harris farm market, if that meets your not chain market requirement? Otherwise there use to be a couple of green grocers in Mosman. One on Avenue Rd and another on military iirc (though it's been quite a few years since I've checked them out!)

I consider Harris Farm a chain type, I don't know if it really is or if people just buy into the franchise system but anyway they're usually extra expensive. I'm looking for something like Farmer John in Southpoint center or Farmers Fresh Ashfield. I haven't been near Mosman in a long time now, but I'll keep your tip in mind though, thanks

That's fair! To be honest it's good to support local businesses! So I took a quick look and there are three places in Mosman that I can find. Persica on Ave Rd, and then Mosman Fruit and Best Fruits which are both on military Rd.

Only other I can think of off the top of my head is the fruit and veg shop called Greenwood Grocer next to North Sydney station! Other than that I don't think I've seen anything off the top of my head but I'll let you know if I do!
