Some time to breathe

At last spring is within sight in Sweden and after working way too much during the past year I finally can do something else with my time than spending it on a train or at work. I intend to make as much of it as possible before the next job starts. Which basically means sleeping enough, seeing my friends, playing video games, embroider and all those other things I’ve had to put aside more than I want to think about.

So I’ve started by doing a little gardening in miniature. I don’t have a garden or even a balcony, but at least there’s some room in my window. The first plants will be basil, thyme and chilli, in an old box that used to contain chocolate. I’m really looking forward when they start growing!

    Whoops, I forgot it was you, and wondered what Kakariki was talking about. Anyhow, those look beautiful, and that is a brilliant idea.

    I LOVE the minature garden, how did you make the little dirt mounds?

    Actually I bought them. I think it was some nostalgia involved, I was so fascinated with those when I was a kid. When you take them from the box they’re all dry and coin-shaped. Then you water them and they change shape into this, all ready and perfect for planting.
