Matthew's Journal

More content-ful posts will have to wait for another day, I'm afraid. But, the house is coming along!

Last week, we bought Plants for the Garden. We're keeping them in pots, so when we move again we can take them with us. We have a bay tree (hi mostly_a_cat :), sage, rosemary, thyme, oregano, mint and lavender. I'm not sure they're quite frost-proof yet (and the sage is looking a bit forlorn), so I brought them inside yesterday. Hopefully when it stops snowing, they can go out again :-) Anyone know about the care and feeding of the above?

The house is beginning to look more like a house, and less like a pile of boxes. I even did some DIY (the landlord pace Agents was happy for us to) - I bought masonry bits, and used my Grandfather's old power drill (a Black & Decker Super D 500) to put up coat hooks in the hallway. They've not fallen down yet :)

Today I made dinner - roast lamb (easy, but tasty), followed by banana mousse with butterscotch ripple. A hit, I think!
