22:27 Nå har vi kommet hjem fra Marina og Torben og har pakket litt ut etter påskeferien. Nesten alle plantene hadde overlevd ferien! :-) Men jeg tror jeg kommer til å måtte så / plante noen flere urter. Hos Marina og Torben fikk vi kaffe og masse wienerbrød og så skravlet vi en stund, og gikk en liten tur sammen med Marina og Valde før vi kjørte hjemover igjen. Vi driver og skal invitere dem til middag her en dag, men det må visst være en lørdag og det har foreløpig vært veldig vanskelig å finne en dag vi kan alle sammen.

> Attend a water trial or water practice, and watch.
