Beside the veggie garden, there are heaps of awesome things happening. Just being able to put heaps in every other sentence again is pretty cool. Back down under. Meeting friends, getting to know new friends. Sun, also after 4 pm. Not being stuck in an office to 4 anyway. School. Learning shit. Shit being interesting. Vanilla candles from IKEA. IKEA. Quilt with actual feathers in it, making this lovely sweet noise when you role around in the morning. Morning rituals. At the moment, after rolling around making conversation with my quilt in my new second hand bed, it is coffee, computer, breakfast, mad men 4, magazines, school journal, making notes and then a bit of stretching. Awesome is knitting a yellow scarf while browsing ideas. Awesome is my new orange lipstick, my new Acne boots and receiving a box of Osho books, Tarots and drum music from India. Awesome is what you make around yourself. It is up to you. Home, love and freedom is in you. You let it out, let it move, let it sing and most of all, let it dance. Awesome is there, you feel it, you make it. And how awesome isn’t putting a soundtrack on it all? PJ Harvey’s latest, Zero 7 is making tram riding mysterious, Lykke Li makes me want to kick ass and latest Bonobo seduces me into the most peaceful and colourful forest. That’s pretty awesome..

The thing I learned today, and will remember
Put bay leafs open in your pantry. The Turkish leafs looks like a random little leaf from any garden bush, which it could be if you plant it there. You can put bay leafs in such as your tea, soups, stews, lasagnas and rice to flavour it. Love it! The reason to put it open in your pantry though is to keep the moths away, and it really does according to Frankie, that's a magazin. So this is what I learned, and will remember from today. If you got moths flying uninvited around and you don’t want to touch these not so fortunate as butterflies creatures, because if you do, they die and you’re ending up with dust on your hands, you reach for the bay leaves.
What I love, is that the house I've just moved into already got some dry bay leafs in a jar. Even more exciting is the fact that I can use them whenever I want. The house is a little commune, we travel far to get real good and cheap fruits and veggies. Cooking for each other, making pots of tea every day, going all Turkish just now with Turkish apple tea, and did I mention the veggie patch outside? We'r growing all sorts of tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, basil, eggplants and three different sorts of chilli! Taking me back to Tuscany, taking me back to nature.
