little bitty girl

Almost, but not quite. I woke up today in an absolute chill. Our heater is not working again and it's a lovely 3 degrees celcius outside. It's spattering freezing rain. I am having a hard time being inspired to do my spring masthead with this type of weather.

But I can feel it coming, ever so slightly bursting through. I went to the market on the weekend and found some lovely organic heritage tomatoes and some freshly sprouted arugula. Nothing like a simple tomato pasta with freshly grated parmesan to make me believe that Spring is almost here.

I caught the new Jamie Oliver show where he cooks from his home. I am envious of his lovely garden. I can't wait one day to have a house with a huge garden so I can grow all my own organic veggies and eat them to my heart's content. It would really help if I didn't have such a black thumb. But I am sure gardening can be learned with patience and perseverance. Either that, or I'll just hire Mama Kang to be the full time resident gardener.
