Anthony Hopkins

I decided to see how many movies of Sir Anthony Hopkins I have seen, and I was shocked to see how little of his movies I have actually seen.

Here is a list of all of his movies:

• 84 Charing Cross Road

  A Doll's House

Sadly, I have only seen the ones in bold, I might have seen a few more, and forgotten the titles.




So I will be on the lookout for these titles on TV and @ the Video store. It will be a truly sad day when this brilliant actor passes away. He was born on 31st December 1937 in Whales, which makes him 71. I hope he acts in many more movies.





Here is a memorable quote from Hannibal Lecter:” I do wish we could chat longer, but I'm having an old friend for dinner.”

New Herb and Veggie Garden

With the start of spring, I decided that it is time for a new project in the garden.
And with rising food costs in South Africa, and the emphasis on healthy living and organic produce, a veggie and herb garden makes perfect sense. We do have an existing herb garden filled with Chives, Onions, Parsley, Mint, Rosemary, Thyme and Oregano. But I want to include a few extra herbs, and definitely loads of veggies.

So hubby started with the building the new garden yesterday, but I don't expect to start planting before end October. The building will still take a while, and then we need to add the soil and the compost.

I am having trouble deciding what I want to plant. There is such a big variety,and I can't plant everything on my list at once.

So here is by list, I will have to pick a few favourites to start off with and expand the garden from there.

Herbs:

• Flat leave parsley (we have curly)


• Coriander


• Basil


• Dill


• Fennel (I'm not sure if this is a vegetable or a herb)


• Marjoram


• Sage


• Savory


• Tarragon

Veggies:

• Red Onions (we have white)


• Tomatoes


• Carrots


• Beans


• Peas


• Spinach


• Brussels sprouts


• Celery


• Leeks


• Rhubarb


• Potatoes


• Red peppers


• Cucumber


• Lettuce


• Patty Pans


• Courgettes


• Chickpeas


• Asparagus


• Beetroot


• Ginger


• Parsnip


• Sweet potato


• Chillies


• Chicory


• Peppadews (a South African discovery, see the link provided)

I cant wait to start sampling my fresh produce, but a lot of work, watering, and waiting still lies ahead! Wish me luck.

And please send suggestion on what to grow.
