It's been awhile. Really need to get into back into the habit of posting updates online.

I've recently started a written journal, yes, a diary like when i was a little girl, and have fallen in love with writing on paper... I just love to see the writing on paper. It's not perfectly formed, not the most beautiful script I've ever seen, but it's got personality. I love the way my handwriting somehow changes depending on the mood that I'm in when I write, love the fact that I can paste little momentos in there, like the a petal from the first rose that bloomed in my garden, the feather left on the birdhouse... that sort of corny things. Heh. 

Anyway, had a little 'dinner party' with Bansi today. It was wonderful seeing Bansi again after so long... just like the old times when we cooked together, went for walks and talked about anything and everything. I didn't realise how much I missed his company until today, but we've made a promise to see each other more often so fingers crossed that we'll keep to it. We made chickpea curry and vegetarian fried noodles and I baked a special eggless citrus cake for him. And bless his mum, she especially made my favourite dessert, seero halva, for him to bring over for me. I finished it in one sitting. Glutton, I am. 

It's also the first time he's seen our new house. Needless to say my favourite part is the awesome garden that we have. It's a reasonable size, AND it's got a greenhouse for me to grow all my fav ingredients like shiso, edamame and curry leaves! Not that I've planted any of them yet (soon!) but I do have some strawberry plants, two grape vines growing and two different types of tomato plants. The rest of the garden are just pretty pretty flowers like lavender and roses. Oh and I have a yellow ladybug that visits the garden sometimes. Random, but I've never seen yellow ladybugs before.

So it's been good, and I've been content and keeping myself busy tending to my garden at the back of the house. Pictures to follow soon-ish, I hope!
