It Today was my only day off in a week today.

Miki, it sounds like a fun day (even though you didn't get mushrooms, and the festival was crowded). Everything you write was clear and understandable. So I am only pointing out some minor things to make it more natural and to follow punctuation rules.

Here are some notes:

* Because AeroPress is a trademarked product, you should spell it with upper case "A" and "P" and treat it like a proper name. Also, I think it is more natural to say "my favorite equipment for making coffee" or "my favorite way to make coffee."

** In NZ do  the people say "weekends veggie market"? Different English-speaking countries have different customs. In the US it would be "weekend veggie market" (without the "s" on weekend).

*** After commas (and period/full-stop) you have to insert a space. (It's not like in Japanese or other Asian writing systems). ". . . they just cost me" is fine. I only changed it to make it a bit more natural. Oh, and only one "r" in coriander.

**** "Flaked" (笑)I had to stop and think about that. At first I couldn't understand. In the US it is "flaked-out". You could also say "My co-worker canceled on me at the last minute" or "My co-worker stood me up" (although "stood me up" usually refers to a "romantic" date that doesn't turn out romantically).

***** Do you mean "food trucks"? I wasn't sure, so I didn't correct it.

****** I make "shops" and "bands" plural. In this sentence, your meaning is obvious. But the grammar could be ambiguous. The sentence has two verbs - "there were" and "were performing" - and three subjects (food trucks, clothing shops, and bands). So it would be better to split it into two parts: "There were tons of food trucks and clothes shops, and there were bands performing."

I hope this helps. (厳しすぎると許してください。 (*´・人・*)Sorry。。)
