And Now For Something Completely Different

Once a month, I enjoy taking a trip to the market via train and coming back with an abundant haul of fresh produce. As I don't own a car and solely rely on public transportation, having a sturdy grocery trolley is a must. In the past, we used to use a standard-sized trolley we affectionately named "Veronica" after the song that was playing on the radio when we purchased it. However, the wheels of Veronica deteriorated due to the heat of the concrete and the strain of lifting it over curbs and navigating trains and buses.

After some contemplation, I decided to upgrade and looked to the robust, durable cross-country prams used by families jogging with their kids. I was envious of their wheels and wanted to enhance my trolley. I found a second-hand pram at a thrift shop for $40 and got to work on my design. After a few weekends of sawing, sewing, and riveting, I proudly present "Pramula Anderson." Now, I'm the one turning heads with my wheels as I navigate the market.
