Feels, at the moment anyway, like someone else&#8217;s life, although once I began working, it didn&#8217;t take a second to become focused, once again.<\/p>\n<p>As I mentioned last week, it&#8217;s a national holiday,\u00a0<em>lundi de la P\u00e2que\u00a0<\/em>(Easter Monday),\u00a0\u00a0here today so it will be interesting to see what is actually open and closed. What is open is our local Boulanger Madame but I am told that the local administrative centres (the &#8220;Mairie&#8221;) regulate who can and can&#8217;t open on stat holidays. Can&#8217;t have the French\u00a0<em>sans leur pain<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>I switched Graham to today so we continued work on the painting, trying to achieve the right values and hues although there was a clear loss of some perspective last week when I painted in some detail. You can see it on the second row of windows. Have to fix.<\/p>\n<p>A beautiful day here, although I see the Jays lost yesterday, so we went for another walk, this time to and through\u00a0\u00cele St.-Louis, where Amie and Gerry married some years ago. See photos for itinerary.<\/p>\n<p>Had a lovely dinner with Kirby and Marco at Le Gorille Blanc (again).<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin:
