So much for Spring/Sping time...

Urh, yes, recall how I was tooting on about the warmer weather a few days ago...Well, nature has since dealt us a harsh blow! The drama! The tragedy! First it rained... (and I thought, ok, it's making it gloomy and cold, but the plants will enjoy this!) Then it hailed! Massive giant hail balls that I thought might break a window! And of course this happened in the wee hours of the morning so I was in dream land and couldn't save my poor plants...Oh dear...

Sping time!

I finally cleaned up my balcony this past weekend! There is now space to walk! I also planted some carrots, radishes (a recent discovery and now firm favourite), lettuce and bright orange poppies. I find it very convenient to have vegetables growing so near at hand, and have greatly enjoyed my parsely and basil already established on the balcony. I've had varying success planting vegetables, but hopefully the warmer weather will help.

If you have a bit of a green thumb (or a wanna be green thumb like me), you'll enjoy this.

Portraits from Hel Looks

A friend gifted me a Moleskine sketch book for my birthday (the most perfect present ever! Long coveted by lil old me but I would always gag at the price before ever getting to the checkout). It is amazing! I'm never going to draw in anything else! It also seems to miraculously play nicely with my technical pen (deemed exclusive enough for ya? Stupid pen that clogs up randomly - from paper fibers? - on regular printer paper!). Yes I love and hate this pen so much that I speak to it.

These portrait drawings are from pictures from Hel Looks, an awesome site.
