Doctor Who Drabble: Bazaar

Title: Bazaar
Author: badly_knitted
Characters: Martha Jones, Tenth Doctor.
Rating: G
Written For: Challenge 395: Market at dw100.
Spoilers: Nada.
Summary: Alien marketplaces are full of wonders.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Doctor Who, or the characters.




Martha has never seen anything like this. It’s fantastic; exactly how she imagines a Middle-Eastern bazaar must look. Stalls everywhere, selling everything imaginable, from colourful fabrics to spices, livestock to jewellery, technology to foods… The smells are indescribable.


There are fresh fruits, skewers of meat cooking over grills, piles of cakes and confectioneries and what might be cheeses. Martha wants to sample everything, but when she moves towards a stall selling something spicy the Doctor stops her.


“I wouldn’t, not unless you want to turn blue and have all your hair fall out. Some things aren’t meant for human consumption.”

I like tuna!

But no, I can't eat a vegetarian diet since leafy green vegetables are out and a number of other vegetables are out, along with grain products, which I can only have in very small amounts. No bread, pasta, or breakfast cereals. I just have a very seriously restricted diet.

That's tough. I guess you just "jazz up" your tuna. There are many ways to eat one type of food.

But nor=t that many things I can eat that go with tuna...

[cynthia2015.livejournal.com]

I suppose your right. It's basically a selection of salad, sandwich, pasta or last resort...seaweed aka sushi.

[bk_forever]

Seaweed is a green leafy veg though, so that's out, and I'm not eating sushi, it's all pre-packed here. I can't eat bread or pasta, so that leaves tuna n its own or with crackers.

Oh dear. It really is that limited. I don't mean to intrude.*hugs*

[bk_forever]

Yes, it really is. =(

Maybe focusing on your vitamin intake could help.*pats shoulder*

[bk_forever]

I'm intolerant of some vitamins too, can't take any of the B vitamins.

[cynthia2015.livejournal.com]

I think it would be easier for both of us if you told me what you could have. Otherwise, it doesn't matter.:D

I know it's complicated. Since I found my own diet a challenge describing it to people.

[bk_forever]

Doesn't really matter, I eat what I can it, and over the last few years there have bee more and more foods I've become intolerant to. This is just something I have to cope with s best I can. I'm resigned to it.

*hands over virtual dark chocolate*

[bk_forever]

At least I'm not intolerant of virtual foods!

Veronica Mars: That's the spirit!

I'm sorry if you don't know the reference but hope the meaning counts for something.

[bk_forever]

It does, even though I've never watched Veronica Mars.

[cynthia2015.livejournal.com]

Cool. It was compared to the series "Buffy" even though it's a different genre. Joss Whedon guessed stared on "Veronica Mars".

BTW: I just notice that I replied the same message twice a while back. So weird I didn't see that until now.*shrugs*

[bk_forever]

I think it's a glitch of some kind. I keep getting multiple copies of messages, when I get them at all...

Had to go to my LJ inbox to find these.

[cynthia2015.livejournal.com]

Okay. I thought I did that by mistake. I couldn't get into my Gmail account at first and then second try. Third times the charm.

[bk_forever]

Maybe the internet is getting overwhelmed with too many people using it all at once, lol!

[cynthia2015.livejournal.com]

You're probably right.:)

In the meantime, I found a pdf file on my phone that I thought was lost. The things that happen when you're not trying to look for something.

[bk_forever]

Yay for finding something! It's always good when something you thought was lost turns up again!

[cynthia2015.livejournal.com]

Technically it was from my Google drive. So I've must have back it up and forgot about it.:)

I have a lot of files stored on my phone. I wanted to free up space by either deleting unnecessary files or transferring them onto a USB and lo and behold, there it was!

[bk_forever]

I don't have a phone, just my laptop, but I back everything in two places.

[cynthia2015.livejournal.com]

Wow. You don't have a phone?

How about a landline?

Sometimes I miss those days.*sighs*

It's always good to backup your backup. But sometimes I get carried away and have to delete a copy.:)
