Tuesday evening

[same_sky]

My basil is beginning to pop up over the soil. Tiny little buds, all over the top of the "pot". It's so incredibly pretty.. I would take pictures, but the "pot" that I'm referring to is actually an extremely ugly, oversized butter bowl, hence ruining any pictures I would take. :) I'm inordinately pleased with this, because I don't exactly have a green thumb. No, what I have is much worse for plants.. disinterest. I like flowers and plants, but I want nothing to do with their care and maintenance most of the time. It really frustrates my mother, who wants me to plant stuff all the time. And if it frustrates her, it would probably horrify Magnus's mom. She's very into pretty plants. :)

I'm listening to Swedish news radio today so I can feel like I'm studying. ;) We haven't done well at all with Swedish lessons lately. Hoping that even when I don't understand what's being said, something will soak in. At the very least, it's background noise. And every now and then George Bush pipes in in English, so I know they're talking about the war, at least..

Re: På Svenska :)

Actually, I think that's a great idea. I'd love to get more practice in Swedish, but I don't really have anyone to mail. I send mails sometimes to his parents, but it's really hard because I invest so much time and effort into it.. On the other hand.. I don't know where you are with your Swedish but judging by mine.. it might be a case of the blind leading the blind. ;) When you get ready to start, just send me a mail, how's that? ;)

Luckily, I'm not a big tomato person so I don't have to crave fresh ones.. *grin* I would like to have fresh herbs, though. :)
