Gardening.

Lemur love.



I am blessed with friends that apparently know about my secret life wish of snuggle with lemurs. I will never ever forget the feeling of the lemurs tiny, cold and a little sticky hands, when they impatiently grabbed my arm, hands and fingers to get raisins and grapes. Lemurs are vegetarians and so unbelievable friendly, it was such a touching experience. They will stay in my heart forever. These guys lives at the Helsingborg Tropikarium, a place where the personnel seems really knowledgeable about the animals and work towards maintaining certain species in the world. They also put down a great part of their time educating the visitors about it. The lemurs only natural habitat is in Madagascar and its surrounding islands, and they are threatened by the desolation of the rain forest.

Latest favourite pen.


I recently found a new Pentel model that I really enjoy messing around with. It's the Pentel colorbrush, like watercolor, but in a pen. The flexibility of the brush nib is a lot of fun and can be used for coloring in bigger surfaces or for fine details. Maybe I am late with this discovery and everyone is already knowing about these, but for me it's a small revolution!

A post about something else: gardening




Ok, can we just talk about something else really quickly? How much fun it is with houseplants, urban gardening and growing your own herbs/vegetables? I just started growing my food on the balcony a couple of years ago, and my interest seems to have become almost obsessive during springtime. It still fascinates me that something you can plant from seed can grow and then let you become a little more self sufficient.
This year I have plans to grow: tomatoes, cucumbers, salad, basil, thyme, peppermint, cress, mangold, wax beans, green beans, wild strawberries and chilipepper, and possible more that I might have forgotten right now on my microscopic but sunny balcony.
