Musings of a language teacher

I spend a lot of time at the weekend working on my assignments for my course. I have three assignments to complete in the next five weeks. I don't like the fact that all the assignments are due around the same time but once Nov 18 is passed I will have finished everything. (note that use of future perfect, you language students).
T and I went to the nursery (that's a garden shop) and we bought lots of plants. On Sunday morning I planted basil and marigolds. Basil is fantastic herb for cooking. I have bought a few different varieties. I'm looking forward to using them in cooking but the big problem is the lack of water.
