When I was 17, It used to be L,M,M,J,V,S,D (Lundi, Mardi, Mercredi, Jeudi, Vendredi, Samedi, Dimanche),
When I was 21, It was L,M,V, D,
When I was 35, It was M,J,S,
but now I'm in the autumn of life,
it's only MMS...

I am actually in London today at the Grosvenor, lovely Victorian hotel overlooking the Thames. Our company is expanding into the UK and wants to tap on the skyscrapers boom in London and I was chosen to represent the company to meet our contacts and perhaps close a deal. I wanted to call and meet a "friend" I met last year in Liverpool but couldn't make the trip this time, so I e-mailed one blog friend , I remember who has a houseboat studio on the Thames and she accepted to meet. She was as the most lovely, classy, warm person and everything as I thought she was. She knows all of the landmarks in London and she showed me around. I invited her for dinner at the hotel's restaurant and we had a delicious meal and lovely conversation as she has also lived in the States and have visited Montreal. Later she invited me for coffee with brandy haha and I asked if she mind if she could show me some techniques in painting, she replied sure, and if I don't mind she paints me. I said I don't mind, if she doesn't mind I draw a pencil sketch of her. After few fills of brandy (mostly), we were done. We exchanged pictures, I gave her my pencil sketch and she gave me her paint of me. It was getting late and I have an early morning meeting tomorrow, so I thanked her for the most wonderful time, and the opportunity to meet a great artist and wonderful lady and bid her"Goodnight
Janet!"

It is now past midnight and it is April 1.

Tomorrow is Good Fiday and for most Christians is observed as the holliest day when Christ was crucufied, nailed and died on the cross to save man from sins. Most Catholics refrain from eating meat or fast in commemoration of this sacred event. In the Philippines, the whole passion of the Christ is re-played for real!

Have a holy Friday and a Happy Easter!

Watercolour 101: "The LightHouse"
I've always been fascinated with lighthouses and Canada is home to many, this is one of my favourites. This is my first ever watercolour paint, and it's a little rough and hopefully I get better as I do some more. A 45 minute excercise of plain watercolour over felt pen sketch. Voila!
