today was market day. the market days in this town are wednesdays and saturdays. so the teacher made us go to the market and interview people about their diet, health, organic and GM food, etc. i bought a small pot of mini blue-violet-ish flowers :) cos i have practically no friend here so i want SOMETHING to talk to. lol. nah i just like flowers a lot. i'm not good at this, though, i don't have green fingers [in sec2 i was the rep and all the plants freaking ROTTED and attracted a lot of ants :( ] so i hope this one has a better fate. it's called Lobelia. i didn't name it. lol. i mean that is the genus. i researched a bit on wikipedia and found out its english names include Asthma weed, Pukeweed and Vomitwort. some names.
and wth it means "malevolence" or "ill-will" in the victorian language of flowers. if i'd known i wouldn't have bought it. and for myself, too!! lol. but no matter. No wonder they were called Lotto and Lobelia in LOTR (Frodo and Bilbo's relatives).
i wanted to buy some strawbs too but i decided not to cos i didn't want to leave them overnight. i made soup for lunch and dinner. still not used to the amount i should put in, so i put in a lot of carrots (as with the previous tries) and i feel so sick of carrots now (as with the previous tries). and i'm eating more of this later. haha. but it's not so bad. at least i'd like to believe so.
[of red and yellow roses and which i should pick.]
my dear Lobelia:
