My exams are officially over. As of this Wed. So far I know the marks for three out of five... and passed all those. Not with flying colours... but I passed and that was my aim this semester. Mainly just 'cos I'm making excuses for not doing better, etc... but I'm happy, and it's sunny (look at the gorgeous sunset that we get), and Julia is here... who is still snoozing at 10:17 on a Friday morning!!!! well after I'm done with this post I'm gonna go wake her up :)
In the meantime I've made a bit of an effort (mainly putting some seeds in the ground and watering 'em) and planted two pots of plants on the balcony. One is a pot with herbs... and I successfully managed to grow some parseley, mint, and coriander there... the one big hope of mine - the onion, didn't decide to grow for some reason. And I mean I grew onions in a jar of water on a windowsil back in Russia!!! Must be some weird sort of German onion that didn't like the caring Russian hand.
In the other pot is a selection of what I think are field flowers... Jack calls them weeds... but basically it was an assortment seed packet and I have no idea what any of them are called. I just like 'em 'cos they're all really different and colourful. So here are some snaps... excuse the quality... I haven't gotten the hang of macro on the camera yet...
And last but not least... I'm back to basics :)
actually speaking of Julia she just got up... so now we're off to breakfast and then to parade on the town!








Note - the photos are taken facing 'east', an unusual direction for a sunset, especially as I took them about 4:30 one morning when I couldn't sleep ;-)
