Multi tasking. Cooking pumpkins, making kimchi and making a mess in the kitchen.What I did in class this morning - still life. Learning the nuances of an apple, red, reflections and the brush with water. I felt a bit testy after the class.This morning’s skies while we were skiing.Practice does make for better. My watercolour effort today. Many hours of study and practice needed. Photo reference @gbmoo.Doing some homework for my art class. Not in love with watercolours yet. Very hard to control. I want to work it like acrylics. Enough for today. It’s not like I can flunk.Skiing in the North Park today. I managed to get over all 3 slopes without mishap today. I looked behind me and caught the guy coming over my nemesis with ease. Don’t you just hate that? Well, a few more years of practice and I can probably do it, too. A grey day. The sun looks luke warm.A late afternoon ski. A little windy with drifting snow. I love the setting sun. I didn’t mind setting a new track again. It came out better than the previous one. I did my 4 laps around the familiar terrain oof the South Park.Back to school yesterday. My first art class after many many years. It’s an introduction to the basics of watercolours. I hope to do great guns with professional help. I’ve been just splashing and floundering around on my own all these years. A nice way to spend a Saturday morning. I tolerated double masking quite well for 2 and 1/2 hours quite well.Our Sunday morning ski. I moved over to the north park to try out those bumps and valleys again. I’m happy to say I fell down only 3 times. Pretty soft landings because so much snow. Also harder to get up, too because of deep drifts. I can manoeuvre down the hills. It’s when the downhill starts to go up again that I lose my confidence. I see it and go oh-oh….! More practice.My pumpkin pie, fresh out of the oven. Looks good. Will see how it taste later. I got confused about evaporated and condensed milk being the same thing. I already put in the brown sugar, then realized condensed is not same as evaporated but it went in anyways. Could be super delicious or just super sweet.Instagram

MISS MARPLE TO THE RESCUE
I still run away from things. When the tough gets going, I do, too. When it is just too damn hard, I don’t give up. I give in. There’s no use in getting my panties in a knot and my … Continue reading

LETTUCE IN DECEMBER
I have to admit that I’m still struggling to rise above – to write, to appease myself of so many things. I have to be satisfied with just getting an earlier start. I’ve been negligent of late. It’s making me … Continue reading

SELF ANALYSIS
It’s another Saturday. I’m still on my sabbatical from my Saturday morning swim. I’ve given in to my natural state of inertia. It’s nice to have a rest and enjoy the nothingness of a weekend morning. I was tempted to … Continue reading

FEATHERWEIGHTS AND OTHER OBSESSIONS
November 20, 2018 7:49 am Winter time and the living is not easy. The fish are not jumping. The mornings are dark. If I dwell in the cold and hardness of it, I would be done in. But I don’t. … Continue reading
TWO IS ENOUGH
I am somewhat obsessive by nature. Once I hook onto something it is hard to stop or to be moderate. Now that Sheba and I have found our old off-leash dog park again, we’re quite taken with it. I pack … Continue reading
